Arcadea (Brann Dailor/Mastodon)

[WebRaider]

Arcadea is the very synth laden, proggy side band of Mastodon drummer Brann Dailor. It still retains all the crazy drums that Brann always brings. I've been very hyped about this since they released an early snippet of their song "Gas Giant" back in 2015. The self titled debut is finally coming out in June! 

---------------

5 billion years after the last great extinction, the galaxy Andromeda spins headlong into the Milky Way with three intergalactic travelers in tow. Drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor (Mastodon), Guitarist/keyboardist Core Atoms (Zruda, Gaylord) and Keyboardist/guitarist Raheem Amlani (Withered, Scarab) are said pioneers, the space wizards of psychedelic soundscapes where organic drums collide with synthetic keys to create an infinite transmission from an event horizon. They go by ARCADEA and their otherworldly brand of psyche-electric, synth-driven, metallic madness sounds alien yet somehow familiar. ARCADEA's visionary, self-produced, self-titled debut was mastered by Colin Leonard (Mastodon) and features stunning cover art from renowned sci-fi fantasy artist Essy May.

Not sure how I feel about this, to be honest. I'll give it a few more listens, though, there's definitely some interesting stuff going on.
