Lurch
It hums, steams and howls through your ear canals when Lurch are on stage. They make psychedelic music for metal fans, funky garage punk with a doom flavor, a bit heavy, a bit cheeky and always a bit in your face. And they have fun. This is also reflected on their first album, which will be released on March 14, 2025 via StoneFree Records – selftitled, on vinyl and digitally.
Recorded in a snowy week in December 2023 at the venerable KAPU in Linz, the six songs summarize what has happened so far in the band’s history. From the first song they wrote together (10), to dreamy, playful heavy psych riffing with lots of distortion and wah-wah (WUMMATIL/CROQUE MADAME), groovy space-kraut rhythms (SHOOTA) and saucy rock beats with half-time doom (WAUGA), sometimes with and sometimes without vocals, to their shortest and most light-hearted number CASCADE, Lurch show that they are anything but one-dimensional. They write songs that they themselves want to hear and combine their own musical preferences into a wild mix that is intended to be one thing above all: not bland. A teaser for the debut album will be available on February 28th with the single CASCADE, including a music video. The release will be officially celebrated in March, April and May at six shows in Austria.
