It’s a slicky, hoppy fuzz rock track worthy of a Scooby Doo chase scene.
Admittedly it wasn’t actually the name Chron Goblin that pulled my attention towards the music of this band, it was the wacky tour poster they had announcing their Canadian tour with label mates Black Mastiff. I first saw it and thought it was the rounds for a children’s book signing.
Nonetheless the band has unleashed a sick track entitled ‘Slipping Under’. Very listenable and well-worked! Listen below:
Alberta’s Chron Goblin will be releasing their new album ‘Here Before’ scheduled to be unveiled on September 27, 2019 via Grand Hand Records. The first taste of the fuzzy foursome is the single ‘Slipping Under’.
The Calgarian mainstay have graced almost every stage in the city and spread out their fuzzy, proggy and groovy sound to cities around Western Canada and festivals in Canada, USA, and Europe. ‘Here Before’ is the fifth release from the group and shows off CHRON GOBLIN’s continued evolution and refinement. Brett Whittingham (drums) goes into detail about the track:
“Slipping Under is one of the more complex arrangements on the album. It starts off with a dark n’ dreamy clean intro, experimenting with some electronic drums, before it kicks into the heavy bridge and on to the tight n’ groovy verses. The pre-solo section also includes more experimentation with the inclusion of some dirty 808 drops, something we haven’t tried before! This song is a blast to play live with its multitude of changes and dynamics. Mike Fraser mixed this song, along with Ghost, and his take on both tracks added a nice depth and diversity to the album as a whole.”
In additional news, Chron GOblin will be hitting the road to promote the new album for the ‘Tourgether At Last’ with label mates Edmonton’s BLACK MASTIFF. The Canadian tour will be kicking off in Lethbridge, AB on October 10th and head east towards Montreal, QC to then circle back out west to wrap up on October 25th in Edmonton, AB.
The band adds:
“We’re super psyched to hit the road with longtime pals and new label mates Black Mastiff on our dual album release Canadian tour! We’re really looking forward to rolling out east and playing a bunch of tunes from our new album ‘Here Before’. Black Mastiff and Chron Goblin Tourgether at Last!!”
This is the era of Chron Goblin.
