The expansive Obsidion LP by Los Angeles-based BARROWS will be unveiled through Germany’s Tonzonen Records this Friday, and New Noise Magazine is now hosting an early stream of the entire record. The band’s cinematic, instrumental rock organically and seamlessly blends elements of prog, space, kraut, and psych, citing influences of early King Crimson and Pink Floyd to John Carpenter and Goblin.

Obsidion was recorded and mixed by Sean Foye, Jim Leonard, and Richy Epolito, mastered by Eroc from the legendary Krautrock band Grobschnitt, and features artwork and photography by Alexandre SouÃªtre. The record will be released this Friday, May 26th, digitally and on deluxe 2xLP via Tonzonen Records. Find preorders for the vinyl RIGHT HERE.

Formed in Syracuse by Jim Leonard and Richy Epolito, before the two relocated to Los Angeles, BARROWS recruited guitarist Ryo Higuchi and bassist Brock Haltiwanger to flesh out the live lineup. Having proven themselves to be a formidable force in the realm of exploratory rock through two prior albums – 2011’s Imprecari Island, and 2014’s Red Giant – BARROWS reaches further into the depths of consciousness on Obsidion. Boasting driving passages amidst massive expanses of powerful cosmic and atmospheric exploration, Obsidion bears an indescribable energy at its core, though the final product is implemented with a calculated coolness.
