Prairiewolf – “Burning Edges”

Some big news around here today, RSTB favorites Prairiewolf return with a new album set to slide onto shelves later this summer. The Colorado band has been a beacon of syrup n’ sun over the past few years. Sluicing through the arms of ambient country, psych, and kosmiche cool, the trio trickles a little ice water into the veins of the American West. Zone Poems is an album that’s both live and layered, a composite of the band’s prowess at turning their compositions into something more elastic on stage. The band’s new set of songs took the stage at locations in Crestone and Denver, coming back to the band as tapes that captured those songs at a moment in time, but in true Prairiewolf fashion, that time is not encased in amber. The band took the tapes and overdubbed, added, tweaked, and tumbled the tracks until they resemble the cavernous creations here. First cut “Burning Edges” skips around the headphones with an early morning ambience, doused in dub’s humid edges and fit quite nicely with a sun flare of guitar. The track closes out with the faint hint of the crowd, but its more like surf just lapping at the edges of a dream. The band’s new album, Zone Poems, is out July 17th from Centripetal Force.
