NAAM Premiers New Song Online
October 8, 2009, 15 years ago
Brooklyn, NY heavy psych rock trio NAAM has completed work on its debut album. The fast-rising buzz band will drop the self-titled Naam on October 20th via NYC’s Tee Pee Records.
A taste of what Naam’s debut holds in store can be sampled now as the brand new song 'Icy Row' can now be heard at this location.
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 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. 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.
The final track listing 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'
Naam will perform a special pre-release live performance in Brooklyn on October 11th at Europa Night Club alongside like-minded trio OM. The trio will also perform at a host of Tee Pee Records 2009 CMJ events.
