Constants' fusion of disparate styles is one of the most organic yet. Instead of soft-loud-soft-because-Isis- do-it, Constants work through melodies, textures and rhythms with remarkable fluency. They love delay pedals (hello, U2!). They dig proggy odd meters. They would fit equally well on Equal Vision or InsideOut. If they want to catapult out of this lowly rag into Rolling Stone, they could do it. - Decibel Magazine
Currently on the road finishing up a Fall US tour supporting their new album, "The Foundation, The Machine, The Ascension," out now on The Mylene Sheath, Boston-based shoegaze heroes Constants have officially announced that their next record will be produced by Justin K. Broadrick of Jesu / Godflesh fame.
Says bassist Orion Wainer, "Justin remixed a song for the Japanese version of our last album (Stiff Slack Records), and we were really into the direction he took the music. After talking with him for a while, we asked if he'd be interested in mixing our next record, and he offered to produce it."
The group has already begun demoing and plan to begin tracking late this Fall in guitarist/vocalist Will Benoit's burgeoning recording studio, located in a historic barn deep in the woods of Connecticut. "The material so far is faster and heavier than anything we've done yet, and it's exciting for us to be working in a fresh and isolated environment, free from city distractions." says Benoit. "Presenting our ideas to Justin, who has had such an impact on modern music - we've upped our level of intensity and focus. Surprisingly the process has been more inspiring than intimidating so far."
