NEXT SHOW: 5/30 AT THE SUNSET IN BALLARD
bio:
Society of the Silver Cross, a Seattle-based band, embarks on a sonic odyssey with their new album 'Festival of Invocations'. Songwriters Joe Reineke (The Meices, Alien Crime Syndicate) and Karyn Gold-Reineke lead listeners through otherworldly realms, delving into themes of life and death, beauty and darkness and transcending the veil between worlds. Their music draws listeners into a trance-like state of introspection and exploration, as embodied in this powerful new release.Their unique songwriting style blends lush organic instrumentation with immersive soundscapes, bombastic rhythms and chant-like vocals, drawing inspiration from the textures and tones of India. The core instruments include 12-string acoustic guitar, harmonium, Hammond B3 organ, shahi baaja (Indian autoharp), rare and esoteric synthesizers and drums. The result is a spellbinding blend of hypnotic melodies, dark undertones and twisted Americana. Critics have described their sound as haunting, gothic graceland, funeral home rock, and even "yogic metal."
