Eora/Sydney based experimental-rock band GODSWOUNDS have returned with their boundary-pushing new track Tantamount Love, produced and mixed by Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Tool).
Taking cues from the likes of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Death Grips, and The Mars Volta, Tantamount Love is an unparalleled convergence of diverse prog-rock expressions. Enthralling chants seamlessly meld with enigmatic frontman Lachlan Kerr's eclectic vocals, as 8-bit Gameboy samples intertwine; capturing a sense of nostalgia. Deftly arranged brass soars amid mercurial time signatures, maintaining a sense of unpredictability, as instrumental breakdowns infuse the single with a mesmirising energy.
GODSWOUNDS talks about the inspiration behind Tantamount Love: "Etched onto the stationary of a hotel notepad, the late, great Freddie Mercury left clues to the original title of Queen's famed 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. What was it originally called? Why, 'Mongolian Rhapsody', of course! 'Tantamount Love' is our take on what a Mongolian Rhapsody could be. It's a psychedelic history of the rise and rise again of Mongolia, jam-packed into high energy and fury."
