Elkhorn to release new album The Black River on Debacle, share teaser video

Seattle’s Debacle Records had a quiet-ish 2016 (releasing two EPs from Vancouver, B.C. ambient dub project Chambers and one from Medina/Walsh). But at the top of 2017, label boss Sam Melancon let the word out about the label’s plans for the new year, one of which included New York guitar-duo Elkhorn’s LP The Black River. A free-roaming fusion of American-primitive, psych, drone, jazz, and loads of other influences, The Black River just might force even the most jaded of hipsters out there to admit that they “don’t hate guitars” after all.

Peep the teaser vid below, and pre-order your copy ahead of the April 28 release date.

(P.S. If you haven’t dipped into TMT’s Cerberus review of Debacle’s most recent release, Camedor’s En Ut/Alba EP, you can read and listen here.)
