KYLESA - Static Tensions Artwork Revealed
January 27, 2009, 15 years ago
Georgia-based quintet KYLESA's new album, Static Tensions, is set for a March 17th release via Prosthetic Records and will be quickly followed by the April 2nd launch of a nationwide tour alongside THE HAUNTED at Pomona, CA’s Glass House.
The artwork for Static Tensions, created by BARONESS’ John Dyer Baizley has been revealed and can be seen on the left (click to enlarge).
Guitarist/vocalist Phillip Cope produced Static Tensions, which was recorded at the Jam Room in Columbia, S.C. Discussing the mindset behind the new album, “It was definitely a lot more thought out. We have the hindsight of some of the mistakes we’ve made in the past, so we were able to avoid making them again on this record. I think we came away from the experience with our best stuff yet.”
“All of our records sound pretty different, but with the same core vibe or sound, and I think the new record has our core Kylesa sound, but branches out even more to incorporate more of our rock and psychedelic influences,” adds guitarist/vocalist Laura Pleasants.
Static Tensions will also see a simultaneous vinyl release on 20 Buck Spin.
Static Tensions track listing: 'Scapegoat', 'Insomnia For Months', 'Said And Done', 'Unknown Awareness', 'Running Red', 'Nature’s Predators', 'Almost Lost', 'Only One', 'Perception', 'To Walk Alone'.
