Absurdist Psych-Rock Nashvillian Releases New EP Today
The
EP:
After a year of recording and preparation, Nashville's Majestico is excited to unleash his latest project, Love is God, unto the world today. The 7" EP, released via hometown imprint Jeffery Drag Records, marks the psych-rock artist's third release following his 2008 debut album Boundary Conditions, and 2009's Live in Japan. Physical copies of the 7" are now available for purchase on Jeffery Drag's website, and digital copies are available on iTunes and Amazon.
Working with Jeremy Ferguson, who has recorded projects for Turbo Fruits, Bad Cop, and Be Your Own Pet at his Nashville-based Battle Tapes Recording studio, Majestico has turned out an EP of four tracks that together create an up-tempo thrill ride through psychedelia. The album's title track, "Love is God" recently made its video premier via Prefix, and takes viewers on a visual journey as stimulating as the music itself. Together with songs "Gimme Love,""Boom Boom," and "Bright White Lady," Majestico's latest endeavor proves to be his latest act of "music magicka."
Please contact Michelle or Dan if interested in talking with Majestico.
The
Background: Majestico was born from the breath of a new America, a land at the end of reason where dogma meets God. Singer/guitar player/brainchild Graham Fitzpenn was raised in an occult outside Houston, TX and was admired for his talent for music magicka. At the age of 25, he renounced these devices and turned from darkness. Marked by a new freedom, he moved to Nashville, TN and created his debut album, Boundary Conditions, which was released in 2008. Shortly after, he assembled a band and began to travel. A year later, they returned with Live at Japan, a record of their appearance on a Japanese television show in 2010 which also ended up on an early Jeffery Drag release, a split cassette with fellow Nashvillians and JDR alumni, Ranch Ghost. In the summer of 2011, they recorded their forthcoming 7" EP Love is God, set for release on October 2nd by way of Jeffery Drag Records.
Jeffery Drag Records was formed in early 2009 by Adam Moult, frontman of Nashville based band Bad Cop. The label was originally founded to release limited pressings of cassettes and vinyl for Bad Cop and other various acts including The Hussy, Pujol, and Little Viking. In 2011, Bad Cop bass player Mike Gicz joined the Jeffery Drag team, overseeing cassette releases from Ranch Ghost, Electric Dollhouse Groovebuggy, and Majestico. The third and final member of Jeffery Drag is R.J. Jennings. The label has grown tremendously, adding Natural Child, Useless Eaters, and Ghost Dance to the roster. Jeffery Drag Records is continuing to grow on a daily basis and has quickly become a name brand for groundbreaking rock and roll music in Nashville and across the country.
