Ahleuchatistas have just kicked off a US tour in support of their latest album, Arrebato, released last year. To celebrate the tour, the duo of Shane Perlowin and Ryan Oslance have unveiled a video for the album’s closing track ‘Erosion’. The effort was directed, shot and edited by Sam Klickner. Watch it now.
We haven’t heard from Asheville’s Ahleuchatistas since their 2012 album Heads Full of Poison. The good news is the duo of Shane Perlowin and Ryan Oslance have recently announced its follow-up, Arrebato, which means ‘passionate outburst’ in Spanish. The six pieces on the album “channel recollections of a natural kinship the band struck up with a number of communities they played to” whilst on tour in Iberia in 2014, notes the press release. “The resulting story threads together a suite of lyrical instrumentals showing a deepening meticulousness for structure—elastic and labyrinthine”. Arrebato is due out on October 30th via International Anthem but we can already hear a taste of what they’ll be throwing at us with the might first single ‘Power With’. Listen to it below and then check out at the album’s trailer.
Ahleuchatistas, the North Carolina instrumental art-rock duo of Shane Perlowin and Ryan Oslance, dropped Heads Full of Poison, their seventh full-length album, a couple of months ago via Cuneiform Records and Harvest Records.
The pair, known for their improvisational flow, draw influences from varied genres. As the press release describes, Ahleuchatistas blend “elements of punk rock, jazz, classical music, speed metal, grindcore, progressive rock, noise, folk musics from Asia and North Africa, electronic music, and ambient aesthetics, along with volatile, unpredictable improvisation, flowing organically in a virtual world of their own.”
Ahleuchatistas premiered yesterday a video for ‘Lighted Stairs’, one of excellent tracks from Heads Full of Poison, directed by Courtney Chappell. Check it out beneath, and straight after listen to another cut off the album, the fierce, tribal and hypnotic ‘Wisps’.
