WINO & CONNY OCHS Streaming New Album Opener “Drain”
March 19, 2015, 9 years ago
Freedom Conspiracy, the second collaborative album between American doom/rock icon, Scott "Wino" Weinrich, and enigmatic German singer/songwriter, Conny Ochs, is now less than two weeks from worldwide release via Exile On Mainstream Records (March 31st), and today a stream of the LP's overcast lead track, "Drain”, is available (listen below).
Living on two different continents does not make it easy for these dear friends to collaborate on their humbling anthems very often, but when it does, pure magic takes place. While Conny Ochs takes to European clubs with spring solo gigs, Wino will hit the road solo as well in two weeks, providing opening support for Black Label Society, both taking with them their own solo works as well as anthems from their impending Freedom Conspiracy collaborative LP.
While the thirteen diverse tracks of Freedom Conspiracy fluctuate between tear-inducing ballads reflecting the worst of personal times, as well as slightly more upbeat jams about life on the road, "Drain" rides the fine line right between both artists' styles coalescing in an undeniably gloomy outlook, but exclaims the desperation for better days with its powerful melodies. Both Ochs and Wino's unmistakable voices ride atop the dueling acoustic guitar-driven foundation, the track void of percussion, and writhing with raw human emotion.
