Cult drone metal band, Sunn O))), have announced an exclusive split-label release from Southern Lord records and Ideologic Organ records; the 25th Anniversary Rehearsal Demo LP. Limited to 1,000 machine numbered copies, it is only available on tour, and core members, Greg Anderson and Stephen O’Malley, have just set out on a US run. Find more details below.
The limited edition LP features a debossed cover and silver metallic and blank ink, and boasts two tracks “Wyoming Big Sky” and “Acres of Calms.” The 25th Anniversary Rehearsal Demo LP was recorded with Brad Wood earlier this year, during the same period he mixed the songs for the Sunn O))) / Sub Pop Singles Club Vol. 8 release.
The duo have embarked on their Shoshin (初心) Duo North American tour (dates below) — and Ireland/UK/France dates in 2024 are in the works and will be announced in a few weeks.
SUNN O))) 25th Anniversary Rehearsal Demo LP
A: Wyoming Big Sky 18:53
B: Acres of Calms 20:00
From the 22nd November to the 6th December, see the Sunn O))) Shoshin (初心) Duo in its original, raw form. Anderson and O’Malley will perform as a pair, immersed in profound valve amplification, spectral harmonics, distortion, and volume. Pure and primeval riffs of temporality, massively heavy structures of sound pressure.
The Shoshin (初心) Duo performed last night in Seattle (sharing the bill with Earth’s performance of Earth 2). This is followed by performances in Monterey, Los Angeles, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Asheville, Athens, Knoxville and Birmingham.
Tickets are on sale now here: SunnOfficial.
