A stripped-back set of songs born from distance, nostalgia, and a beat-up guitar.
Supercharging their interdimensional psych-jazz hotrod for another loop around the galaxy, Calgary’s preeminent heavy groove quartet Gone Cosmic delivered a stunner of an album in September 2022.
Celestial diva Abbie Thurgood returned to claim the fields of Mars with a rebellious siren’s call that echoes from soaring adulation to dramatic swan songs. Devin “Darty” Purdy’s promethean guitar runs propel the action throughout, overarching binary drum and bass pockets that possess the gravitational pull of a sonic black hole. An innovative and creative album that’ll unfurl your solar sails, Send For A Warning thrusts open the portal to a sprawling expanse signified by velvety darkness and meteoric energy.
