Harvestman, the psych project from Steve Von Till (Neurosis), has announced a 3-part album titled Triptych, with Part One set to release on April 23 via Neurot Recordings. Its release is timed with the rising of the pink moon -- each part of the trilogy will release with a specifically chosen full moon of 2024.
Guest contributors on part one include Dave French (Yob), Al Cisneros (Sleep, OM), and John Goff (Cascadia Bagpiper).
The first single is "Psilosynth," shared below.
Von Till states:
My friend, Al Cisneros played bass on a HARVESTMAN track years ago on my In A Dark Tongue album, and has always said he’d be willing to put down more whenever needed. In 2019, I took him up on that offer and sent him raw tracks including a primitive drum rhythm, layers of Moog forming an evolving chord, and a pulsing track originating from my Grendel Drone Commander processed through a Sherman Filter Bank. Al found a perfect groove that anchored all these cosmic particles. Once the structure was revealed, I responded with guitars, mellotron melodies and percussion. The mix is a spaced-out journey allowing the various pieces to ebb and flow, taking turns rising to the top then dissolving back into the primordial.
Additional Triptych releases will release with the Buck Moon (July 21) and Hunter Moon (October 17).
