ZEN MOTHER - Presents Video For The Track From Upcoming Album

The USA based experimental esoteric rock band Zen Mother premiered online a new video "Order". The track is taken from the forthcoming album entitled Millennial Garbage Preach, which will be released on the 6th of May via Weyrd Son Records.

Produced by Randall Dunn (Marissa Nadler, Sunn O))), Kayo Dot), Millennial Garbage Preach is Zen Mother's third full-length release. The group learned how to distil the most potent aspects of their sound through years of vagabond touring and have refined their approach accordingly. That ongoing refinement hasn't stifled Zen Mother's love for the grandiose as evidenced by their acclaimed original score to Alejandro Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain (released in 2019 under the title The Ascent).

"I think we are possibly less experimental in our compositional style now", Khot says of their current work. Zen Mother continues: "We came to our good friend Randall Dunn with fully produced demos for Millennial Garbage Preach with the 5k frequencies blaring, the wrong elements too high in the mix and Randall produced this record into the dark gauze of anguish it needed to be. Tears were shed, Sheridan Riley (our drummer) just flew in from Japan two days before, Monika had strep throat the whole time... we all felt like we were on acid throughout the making of the record."

Zen Mother's trio formation skews the project towards more formal songwriting but also allows the band to indulge in their lofty ambitions and visionary impulses. The curious nature and multi-faceted skills of the members make Millennial Garbage Preach an almost untraceable effort, but Zen Mother never loses focus, even when it reaches for the esoteric. Link
