Summer Update

It's been a while since we offered an update. We are currently writing our new record. No real solid concept this time, but most of the songs seem to be revolving around nighttime themes and incorporate a lot of dream imagery. Mostly nightmares, honestly - it's amazing how much some of us dream about apocalyptic scenarios. In any case, with four songs written and a fifth in the oven, you'll probably hear this thing sooner rather than later. We do have some new-ish tunes out there. We did a cover of Portishead's "Wandering Star" for our friend's bachelor party compilation. Most of the instrumental portion was recorded during the sessions for The Funeral Mountains, and we put the finishing touched on it this spring. The song is located here: http://subadult.bandcamp.com/track/wandering-star The whole comp is available on bandcamp - name your price. We also have some physical copies to give away at shows. As usual, we've been playing a lot of the new songs live this year. Our next show is no exception. We have the honor of playing alongside Sabbath Assembly, Christian Mistress, and Church in what might be our lone summer show this year. Details below:

"The Funeral Mountains" out 01/10/2014

We're very excited to let you know that we are releasing our new album next week on Buriedinhell Records. We are very proud of it and hope you will like it as much as we do. Here's what Buriedinhell has to say about it:

"Buriedinhell Records is excited and proud to announce that Northern California's psychedelic doom conductors, (WANING), have captured six new compositions for their first concept album entitled, "The Funeral Mountains." Although, (WANING) has released several albums since their formation in 2007, this is the first recording that features the addition of long time friend and fan, Ian Black on Bass and Vocals. Black contributes some devastating high screams and low growls which were essentially absent in the band's previous offerings. Fans of (WANING) should expect all of the previous trademark sounds of Jim Willig's soulful vocalizations and multifaceted guitar tones, Susan Hunt's haunting voice and atmospheric keyboards possessed by Benjamin Carpentina's steady and rhythmic procession of percussion. "The Funeral Mountains" should intrigue fans of all dark music genres. It echoes some of the sounds made by Neurosis, Wormwood, Ludicra, Agalloch, Summer Of Glaciers, Giant Squid and so many more that dwell within the grim, depressive and heavy styles."
You can stream and preorder the album here: http://buriedinhell.bandcamp.com/album/waning-the-funeral-mountains-cd

Also, please join us next Friday, January 10th for the CD release show. The lineup is excellent, and it would be a great show to begin with, but we're going to try to make it extra special by playing the whole album live, including the song "Epilogue", which we have yet to play in front of an audience. Here's the details, hit up the Facebook event page to let us know you're coming:

October 19, 2013

Hello,

We are happy to present a new version of Broken Path to you. The same source recording have been completely remixed and remastered by Blake William, the engineer who recorded Always Ending. While I was happy with original version that I mixed, I always felt it needed a little additional work.  You will notice a big difference between this new mix and the original. Blake was able to add a great deal of clarity to the mix, and also different vocal effects and other little odds and ends. I really think this one has a different vibe, and is almost a reinterpretation of the record. For what it's worth, I feel it is superior.

We are making the download available for $3 on Bandcamp. If you have already paid for a download, please do not pay for it again - We will be sending downloads to those who have already given us money for the original version. If you bought a physical copy of the CDr, please email us and we will send you a download code for the version. We will also have a limited amount of physical copies that will be on sale on Bandcamp and at our upcoming shows.

If you are interested in a little light reading, SacIndieMusic posted an interview with me. I hope I don't come off as too pretentious!

More news on the horizon, including shows coming in October and November.

- Jim (WANING)
