An October 15th release date has been given to Monster Magnet‘s forthcoming new studio album “Last Patrol“. Napalm Records will put out the album which was produced by the bands own Dave Wyndorf and Phil Caivano.
Matt Hyde (Slayer, Hatebreed) also helped out with the production duties; while Joe Barresi (Queens Of The Stone Age, Tool) took care of the mixing. Below you can find the track listing and cover art for the album.
Meanwhile, speaking of the new effort Wyndorf said:
“Last Patrol is a return to our roots in terms of vibe and recording style. It’s full-on psychedelic space-rock with a 60’s garage feel, recorded almost exclusively with vintage guitars, amps and effects in our hometown of Red Bank, NJ. The songs are a kind of Space-Noir, tales of cosmic revenge, peaking libidos, alienation and epic strangeness.
It’s a weird trip through the back alleys of a dark, retro-future, which not by coincidence very much resembles my own life. (laughs) The lyrics aren’t fantasy really, rather a recounting of my musings on, observations of and general emotional reaction to my life and environment during a 1 week writing period in February of 2013.
But I tend to use the vernacular and imagery of science fiction and surrealism to express myself and that’s where these lyrics get trippy. There’s also our cover version of Donovan‘s “Three Kingfishers” which I thought fit the mood of the album.
Last Patrol was produced by Phil Caivano and myself with an effort to bring a home grown feel to the whole affair. We had been doing smaller projects out of Phil‘s “Studio 13” recording space and I really felt comfortable there so it was the natural choice on where to record the next full-scale Monster Magnet album. Phil and I grew up together and have a shared love of some very particular vintage music and styles. And everybody in the band played their asses off on this one.”
