Constants announce new album "The Foundation, The Machine, The Ascension" to be released on July 14th on The Mylene Sheath!
As the title suggests, the album is conceptually divided up into three 'movements' of sorts, and will appropriately be available on gatefold 3xLP (100 brown/gray/clear and 300 cream). As if the brilliant music itself (think spaced-out, epic, ardent post-rock with lots of textures and ample use of chorus/delay on the guitars) wasn't enough, those little details right there have me gaga for this record - Crustcake.com
We've long loved Pink Floyd ... so we are pleased to welcome the Boston band Constants to our space rock carousel. Layers of psychedelic guitars, long twisting instrumental passages, gentle segments giving way to thunderous ones, it's all here. - The Boston Globe
Call it space rock, call it art rock, call it progressive indie textural mamma jammas. Call it whatever you want, but creating beautiful, challenging, conceptual epics is something that appears to come easy to Boston, MA's Constants. After showing unlimited potential on their 2004 debut, "Nostalgia For The Future" and its follow-up, 2006's "The Murder of Tom Fitzgerril," the band has now firmly and undeniably come into their own on their latest opus.
Following their recent split 7" with fellow Bostonians in Caspian, the courageously ambitious three-part exercise in atmosphere and mood on display within "The Foundation, The Machine, The Ascension" is truly a haunting experience. It knows when to build, when to change, when to climax, when to breathe and when to stop. This is an album of such subtle extremes and tasteful intricacies that the further you delve into it's many layers, the more lost you become, and the more rewarded you will be. Not for the faint of heart, this is a music lovers album on every level.
