Brooklyn, NY heavy psych rock band NAAM has completed work on its debut album. The band will drop the self-titled Naam on October 20, 2009 via NYC’s Tee Pee Records. A taste of what Naam’s full length LP holds in store is available now as the new song 'Skyling Slip' has been posted online courtesy of Brooklyn Vegan. Check out the song now at this location.

According to a press release, the follow up to the group’s three-song mega-EP Kingdom, Naam was recorded on an abandoned dairy farm in New York's Catskill Mountains and delivers pitch-dark, utterly hypnotic songs that resurrect the concept of space-rock for a new era. Naam’s raw, feedback-powered sound pools densely distorted riff-o-rama with throbbing bass lines and echoey, buzzy vocals that seem to hang in the open spaces in between. Calling for comparison to The Stooges, MC5, Can, Loop and Hawkwind, the music of Naam conjures both post-apocalyptic dazzle and unsettling feeling via punishing, deeply penetrating repetition and twisted vapor trails of guitar. Naam pounds giant riffs into submission resulting in downered sub-blues melancholia that sounds like the soundtrack to a missing hallucination scene from Easy Rider. Naam’s high-voltage power and addictive sonance has found favor with both metalheads and psychedelic rock fans alike, all of whom have talked up the group’s thundering musical muscle.

The final tracklisting for Naam is as follows:

'Kingdom'

'Stone Ton'

'Skyling Slip'

'Fever If Fire'

'Tidal Barrens'

'Icy Row'

'Westered Wash'

'Frosted Tread'

'Windy Gates'

'Black Ice'

Prior to the release of the album, Naam will perform two Brooklyn live performances; September 10 at The Charleston and October 11 at Europa Night Club.
