Dust Kingdom, by Aux Meadows

Dust Kingdom

by Aux Meadows

supported by

TheSlowMusicMovement Once again Aux Meadows lure the unwary Americana & Country listener into their parallel dimension with gently twisted toe tappers & familiar campfire constructs, but it's not long before the second joint gets passed, the band's eyes glaze over and another mighty fine, mind expanding cosmic country, ambient Americana & alt-folk inner journey begins.

Perpetual Doom Aux Meadows is truly a remarkable find. Their distinctive blend of soulful country twang with ethereal new age elements creates a unique, mesmerizing sonic landscape. Their latest album, 'Dust Kingdom,' stands as a testament to their innovative and harmonious interweaving of tradition and modernity. In essence, Aux Meadows' music is an immersive journey that resonates with listeners, lingering long after the last note. Favorite track: The Oppositions.

Blind Dead Timmy 彼らはいつだって最高！魔法の音色に絶妙なアンサンブル、アコースティックとエレクトリックの融合。参った。
Saikou no ongaku desu.
Favorite track: A Terrible Thirst.

about

"Aux Meadow’s new slice of rural psychedelia is like sitting barefoot in the grass and feeling the warmth of the early morning sun kiss your face." – Record Crates United

"Aux Meadows captures the sense of desolation that’s a hallmark of ambient country, adding a bluesy spin with excellent guitar playing and synthesizer that situate the record squarely in the annals of Weird America... (it's) roots music for Zen practitioners." – Petal Motel

"The band’s blend of cosmic psychedelics and country converge once more... On "Perfect Toast", the song ramps like its ready to ramble into full blown country cookin’, but then melts into the heat ripples on the highway, loose and liquid..." — Raven Sings the Blues
