drds89 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 So, ever since lexicondevil introduced me to Center Of The Sun's "Machine Gun" (and then they promptly disbanded), I've been intrigued by Ally Hoffman's vocals and what would become of the disintegration. Lex even proposed her as a suitable vocalist after Kristina quit right before Whirr's US tour sans vocalist. (Great call, she's tough, a Carolinian TarHeel, with a smooth voice). Well, something has materialized and they're calling themselves MTHR, and you can listen to a track here: http://www.cvltnation.com/exclusive-cvlt-nation-premiere-mthrs-wise-blood/ Immediately smacked of True Widow, with some ethereal and psych thrown into the stone/gloomgaze tempo.. 7" EP out soon they say. Speaking of Texas and Psych, there is this band called "The Dry Season" that not many are into. Psych-postrock-shoegazey, and they are finally putting out some new material, called "Sentient Planet." I really like their first album, and the new one is eventually going to get some wax treatment per their FB page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Dry-Season/81205228172 https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sentient-planet/id948005638 lexicondevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Glad to see I'm not the only one that picked up on them. Here's a couple of write-ups I've done on MTHR and two cover songs they've posted. http://www.the1stfive.com/news/introducing-mthr http://www.the1stfive.com/news/m-t-h-r-debut-cover-jesus-mary-chains-just-like-honey drds89 and lexicondevil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for this! Glad to see I'm not the only one that picked up on them. Here's a couple of write-ups I've done on MTHR and two cover songs they've posted. http://www.the1stfive.com/news/introducing-mthr http://www.the1stfive.com/news/m-t-h-r-debut-cover-jesus-mary-chains-just-like-honey Very cool. "Just Like Honey" makes complete sense. That is basically the sound of COTS with a female singer. "White Wedding" was a stretch, but it strangely worked really well.

Waters Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Cool- been waiting for this one- and that center of the sun for 7.99 is a steal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Thanks, Juan for staying on top of this. Ordered the 7", broke New Year's Resolution because I don't listen to most of my 7's. But have to support these guys. Ally's distinctive vocals rule over lo-fi music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 No prob! I've been watching their FB page like a hawk. Pounced on it as soon as it went. Also picked up a second copy of the CotS LP. Just to see what other random color I get. I must've listened to the EP download four times already. Ally's voice is so lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Mike Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Snagged the 7", but missed Center of the Sun. Thanks Juan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Ordered just based on the posters in this thread and the level of excitement. You fuckers better not be steering me wrong! Metal Mike and drds89 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Update from Altrum Cultus about the 7": All preorders are expected to ship this month. We are waiting on final materials to arrive, which are expected very soon. Thanks for your patience and stayed tuned for updates as well as a new shirt design.
