April 30, 2013, Philadelphia – Kylesa stream new song, “We’re Taking This,” via Noisey (http://noisey.vice.com/blog/listen-to-kylesas-new-single-were-taking-this).
The song comes from the Savannah band’s forthcoming album, Ultraviolet, which is available for pre-order via Season of Mist’s e-shop (http://e-shop.season-of-mist.com/en/predefined-search/37879). Pitchfork will feature the album in its entirety beginning May 16. Release date is May 28 via Season of Mist.
Kylesa recently announced a Spring tour, which kicks off on May 10 in Gainesville, Fla. at The High Dive. Openers are Bloody Ceremony, White Hills and Lazer/Wulf. Tickets are on-sale now.
“We’re Taking This” is the fourth track to be previewed from the forthcoming album. Loudwire previewed “Vulture’s Landing” earlier this month (http://loudwire.com/kylesa-vultures-landing-exclusive-song-premiere/) with Stereogum listing the song at #1 on their Month in Metal feature saying the band is “bringing more esoteric influences to the fore of their writing. Once again, Laura Pleasants is handling vocal duties, and I love the way her increasingly ethereal coo is juxtaposed against the churning instrumental grind.” Spin previously premiered “Quicksand” (http://www.spin.com/articles/kylesa-quicksand-ultraviolet-stream) saying the song “joins the melodies of ‘90s shoegaze with the churn of modern sludge.” Season of Mist unveiled “Unspoken” via the label’s Soundcloud player (https://soundcloud.com/season-of-mist/kylesa-unspoken) upon news of anUltraviolet release date. Pitchfork called the track “a heaving, goth-metal juggernaut.”
