London prog surf band The Eerie to release album “Book Of Reverbations” on April 21st

London trio The Eerie present a full-length showcase of reverb-drenched retro guitar music mixed with hard rock intensity, psychedelic breakdowns and Balkan inspired melodies in debut album 'Book Of Reverbations.' Their idiosyncratic blend of twangy 60s surf rock with rhythmic experimentalism has earned them the label 'math surf', but their music is not set to jar or confuse. It instead evokes a mood that's otherworldly yet consistent to its own reality - a forgotten future lying somewhere between Hank Marvin and Robert Fripp. Opening track Hauntology breaks us in with rolls of hand drums and machine gun tremolo before dropping into a fast descending riff matched against Arabic influenced melody. An extended breakdown crescendoes into funky chord chops and trancey synthesizers. In the next track, Tentacult, the atmosphere has shifted to a vintage B-movie. Catchy riffs sandwich between briefly baffling rhythmic sputters. Motörhead-style drums and bass lock-in during the breaks, while the guitar sprints through hypnotic jazzy passages. The third track, The Gommo, features a propulsive motorik beat and a punky bassline. Guitar intertwines crunchy overdriven notes with expressive tremolo dives, building up to a hip shaking solo mixing clave and cowbells with tight trade-offs between guitar and bass. Chapel Perilous leads us into act two, featuring palm-muted spring reverb drips alongside a choppy rhythm that straddles surf rock and speed metal. The climax builds layers of exotic licks with pulsing synth and drum machine. Mathy melody, chunky bass and watery glissandos mix surf with post rock vibes in the fifth track Exploding Lemon. Hard hitting drums propel the tune towards melancholic arpeggios and melodic basslines. Track 6, Operation Mindfunk, lives up to its name with strong percussion intertwining with guitar and acid synth. The tune culminates in a disorienting cocktail of hand drums and guitar trading licks against an infectious bassline. Penultimate tune Jungular is another fresh angle on surf rock fusion. This time, elements of psychedelia combine with surf's whirlwind tremolo to evoke a hint of 50s exotica combined with a coda of incongruously welcome dub reggae. The final chapter Polterchrist comes home to a classic 60s surf beat contrasted with distorted power chords, electronic noises and funky breakbeats. The final showpiece gives us the most blistering guitar and infectious rhythm of the album. At 40 minutes, The Eerie’s Book Of Reverbations says what it wants and leaves you craving more.
