Remember the 5th of November! Not only is it the celebration of (the capture of) Catholic Anarchist fanatic Guy Fawkes and Bank Transfer Day, but it’s also the release date of Pagan folk acolyte King Dude’s first full-length Love on DAIS! That’s three things worth happening. Seriously, put an X on your calendar. You can buy a record, then put on a cool mask, and then walk into a bank. Do it!
This short song is caked, perhaps unnecessarily, in reverb, but T.J. Cowgill’s incredible voice still holds its shape. It’s appropriate, given his affinity for occult imagery, that he was gifted with a truly supernatural singing voice. If his EPs on Bathetic and Clan Destine Records are any indication, you’re in for some heavy acoustic strumming and nonstop eerie ambiance. Like Capt. Don Van Vliet said, “your guitar is a divining rod.” Love is up for pre-order right now and will definitely be the soundtrack to all my effigy-burning parties.
