One of the fastest rising acts of the burgeoning Australian progressive music scene, Ballarat’s Ebonivory have today released their powerful brand new single, Introvection. The track comes from their highly anticipated new album, The Long Dream I on June 5 via Wild Thing Records!
Frontman Charlie Powlett, says of the track: “Introvection is an endless deep dive into the self. Opening with a descending spiral of riffs and transitioning into truly heartfelt reflection, this song encapsulates the vastly different stages of self-grieving and acceptance after trauma. In signature fashion, Introvection showcases our motivations as Ebonivory; to create an experience that hits hard without being overbearing, is musically complex whilst exercising restraint, and having the most fun possible without sacrificing the integrity of our art.
We’re immensely proud of this track, and we can’t wait for you to hear it in the context of the full album. We’ll be hitting the road as soon as it’s safe to do so, and we hope that everyone is staying strong through these difficult times.”
The Long Dream I is the first of a two-part concept album, delivering a vision that is pure and unrestrained by musical conformity, often leaving the listener nostalgic, enraged, and paralysed within the span of seconds. Entirely-self produced, mastered by Forrester Savell (Karnivool), and led by singer Charlie Powlett’s emotionally powerful delivery, every song presents a completely unique reimagining of what progressive music is capable of; shifting from the punk-inspired moments of Hanmer Street into the gritty, futuristic soundscapes of Explosions After Dark, and transcendental riffs and passages of Introvection. All the while effortlessly maintaining cohesive melodic bonds, resembling a sequence of dreams.
