The slanted garage-rock trio, ROYAL CHANT, have just released the fourth instalment of their Sleep Quintet, an EP culmination of a yearlong series of releases. Beginning in early 2012 with “Junk Theory”, the band slowly and methodically crafted a collection of songs that veer wildly across the sonic spectrum, capturing their haphazard nature of the band and its approach to music. To support the conclusion of Sleep Quintet, they are heading out of the road for one last set of shows before they pack their bags and head to the USA for an East Coast with their NYC besties The Press (Goodnight Records). The latest release of “Irish Eyes” finds the band in rare form, having slowed the tempo at long last but cranking up the fuzz to a level of electric immersion, humming along with the slurred musings over love, loss, distance, and memory. With each successive release the band is returning more and more to their experimental, hyperkinetic, and literary roots, carving a path out of the spotlight but never far from it. Following their US dates, ROYAL CHANT are headed back into the studio to record their next collection of songs, with the thinking that while the traditional album may or may not be dead or dying, concepts of all shapes and sizes will always have their place as vehicles for artistic expression. So what comes next for ROYAL CHANT? If their latest demos and reams of lyrics offer any clues, fans should brace themselves for heavy, heavy guitars combined with enough words to easily consume a gallon of ink. Come see what the fuss is about
