A bit of an exclusive for TLOBF on this dull and grey Wednesday morning: we’ve got a taster from Pontiak’s latest long-player. The track is the immense wall of sound that is ‘World Wide Prince’ from the forthcoming Sea Voids, which is released next month.
Download the track here.
Pontiak wrote, recorded and mixed Sea Voids in eight evening sessions over the course of three weeks. The brothers sketched out what kind of album they wanted to make while on a two month US tour. It would be visual, it would be expressive, and it would be inspired by what the brothers had seen. When they returned home from tour they had just four weeks to write and record the album before disembarking on a European tour.
They tuned the bass and the guitar down to B, cranked their amps and let the air open up. Hardly any distortion pedals were used. It was just LOUD. Pontiak finished Sea Voids the day they left for Europe.
The band are returning to these shores for a tour with label mates White Hills in March. Catch them if you can – an immense and brutal live experience.
