It’s not coming in the next month, but it’s not far off either.
Several years ago Matthew Broyles of The Matthew Show and myself coming together as the “band” Ah Pook The Destroyer and made the album Silver Key, as many of you already know. Now we’ve reemerged and will fairly soon release our next album: The King In Yellow
Much like The Silver Key riffed off of an old Lovecraft story, The King In Yellow riffs of the 1895 book by Robert Chambers. The book The King Is Yellow is known for having invented the “poisoned meme” trope, in this case, a play that once read causes deterioration, mental and spiritual decay, and even madness. The album plants this firmly in today’s conspiracy obsessions and runs with it.
It’s Floydian, it’s playful, it’s bitter and sweet in all the right places. I honestly think it’s utterly captivating and it is coming together shockingly well. And it’s coming soon.
Floydian as in pre or post Dark Side? I need to set my expectations accordingly. Either way Paul + Prog Rock and/or Psychedelia + Hastur = A very happy Nash so I’m down.
Post. I love both of course, but this is definitely post.
Nice!
Words cannot express how hyped I am for this one!
