SUNN O))) has revealed a US listening session in addition to their events in London and Paris in the lead-up to the release of Life Metal, set for release April 26th through Southern Lord.
Confirmed for April 13th, the Brooklyn-based listening session will take place at Future Space in collaboration with Southern Lord Recordings and The Tinnitus Music Series. The experience will feature a tower of loudspeakers, engulfing walls of fog, and throbbing color. A congregation of guests are invited to traverse the outer zones of consciousness and expanses of the cosmos through sound/time and sound/energy. This event is free, open to the public, and available on a first come, first serve basis.
SUNN O)))’s Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson offer, “With great pleasure we present a few special public deep listening sessions of our forthcoming album Life Metal. Our wish and intention is to offer the astounding presence, detail, and color of this recording on great PA systems in a public situation as an introduction. Part of the joy of producing and mastering this album in the studio was that we were fortunate to be able to listen on the perfect high-fidelity playback situations for the record, top precise studio sound guided by the best ears in the business. With these public listening sessions, we hope to get a step closer to that experience of being inside the studio for you all at these special events, a few weeks before the album is unleashed upon the world.”
