Video zur Lead-Single „Loveland Pass“ jetzt online

“Right from the start, Spiral Groove pulls us into a rhythmic soundscape, erupting over and over with guitar, piano, synth, drums building and subsiding and returning again with joyful urgency. Above it all Stewart Bronaugh sings cool and steady about his close experiences with death, what it means to endure your losses and the gift of being able to recognize the most real love in your life." - Angel Olsen

LIONLIMB - das Projekt von Stewart Bronaugh - kündigt heute sein neues Album „Spiral Groove“ für den 12. November auf Bayonet an.

Das 31-minütige Album ist eine zeitlose, romantische Sammlung von Songs, die aus Klavier, Cello, Slide-Gitarre und schwirrende Synthesizer-Melodien bestehen. Sämtliche Songs auf „Spiral Groove“ sind nach Bronaughs Genesung von einer Halsoperation entstanden. Dementsprechend gespickt ist das Album mit Geschichten über die eigene Sterblichkeit, die Herausforderungen von Sucht und Nüchternheit und die Romantik des Lebens. Auf „Spiral Groove“ verpackt Bronaugh all unsere existenziellen Fragen in aufgeräumte Liebeslieder. Der doppeldeutige Name des Albums leitet sich einerseits von einem Nervenkanal im Arm ab, während „Spiral Groove“ gleichzeitig das Bild einer Nadel evoziert, die auf eine Schallplatte fällt.

Die soeben veröffentlichte Lead-Single „Loveland Pass“ ist eine Meditation über Bronaughs Erfahrung mit Panikattacken, die ihn vor ein paar Jahren zum ersten Mal beschlichen. “It was like a door opened I never knew existed and there didn’t seem to be anything I could do to stop or control them,” erklärt Bronaugh. “Loveland Pass is one of the highest mountain passes in Colorado that has been the site of numerous avalanches, plane and car crashes. When I wrote this song I felt like I was having my own avalanches. The tiniest thought capable of feeding back into intense fear and panic, similar to an avalanche once something would get knocked loose up there and start to slide there wasn’t really anything you could do."

Bio:
Written and conceived before Covid-19, these songs were shaped by real-time feedback and the alchemy that happens when a group of well-seasoned musicians gather together. Bronaugh’s compositions found life in the hands of long-time collaborators Joshua Jaeger and Jonathan Sumner. Jaeger’s drumming is intuitive and full of care, creating space for the kind of cello and guitar riffs that flow like water. With Sumner's rich bass playing following suit, they comprise a rhythm section that sets the stage for Bronaugh’s songwriting. Spiral Groove was inevitably shaped by this chemistry, the essential quality of each song revealing itself during rehearsals and live shows.

As the world shut down during the final stretch of the „Spiral Groove“ mixing process, the downtime gave Bronaugh the opportunity to delve into design. Inspired by early animation techniques and handmade cinema, he was able to build out lyric videos with a lush but low-tech aesthetic. Though he doesn’t self-identify as a painter, the visual components of „Spiral Groove“ speak for themselves. Experimental fonts and a kaleidoscopic layout recall the “psychedelic experience” of having a seizure that left Bronaugh suddenly aware of the limits of his own body. ANGEL OLSEN describes the “joyful urgency” in these songs--they are like a hopeful spell for life after the end of the world.
