They Watch Us From The Moon release new music video for the track »Space Angel«; »Cosmic Chronicles: Act I, The Ascension« LP out now via New Heavy Sounds

Lawrence, Kansas based psychedelic cosmic doom collective They Watch Us From The Moon has released new music video for the track »Space Angel«.

Taken from their latest album »Cosmic Chronicles: Act I, The Ascension«, »Space Angel« highlights TWUFTM’s trademark unique blend of heavy riffs, cool solos and supreme vocals. Check out their previous music video for »On The Fields Of The Moon« while this video takes the story on.

TWUFTM have riffs as heavy as Osmium and melodic lead guitar lines (think Gilmour meets Buck Dharma) as strong as spider’s silk, it’s a wonder they managed to escape the atmosphere. Perhaps it’s because the sublime vocals of TWUFTM’s twin ‘Space Angels’ Luna Nemesis and Nova 101001 guide you beautifully through the clouds. In fact their vocals are a total highlight throughout and lift this record far above any genre pigeonholing.

TWUFTM are also a band that has a concept behind the groove. Sci-fi space opera, a love for 70’s glam, Bowie and Queen, brought to the fore visually, in their mashing of comic book narratives and George Clinton’s Funkadelic style alter ego’s.

As to the music… the colossal weight of riffs on this first-contact missive are made so gloriously enjoyable by memorable hooks, honed repetition and and an agile rhythm section that can make each one of their (sometimes 10 minute) stargaze rides feel like an epic odyssey. Fellow space travellers Hawkwind and Pink Floyd, and even Spacemen 3, have been in similar orbits before, but never this heavy.

They Watch Us From The Moon don’t just breathe new life into cosmic tones, they take it to a different level.

»Cosmic Chronicles: Act 1, The Ascension« is space opera for heavy psych doommers and shoegazers alike. Something new within heavy psychedelics, in fact it’s something new anywhere.
