"..the other day I was 20,000 leagues under the sea. I heard a faint, but familiar noise not too far off. "Where am I?" "Is that a mosh pit underneath the ocean?" "How did this band get their equipment to work under water?"..
Irriguous mayhem for a new Poseidon..
Pyramids Bio:
It starts in the upper atmosphere, in that rarefied air where silence sings and time is little more than an abstraction. As it makes its way down through the tree line, to sea level, to the ear canals, elliptical windows and auditory nerves of the great unwashed, the shapes begin to shift. The sine waves become more distinct: swarming, swirling guitars, drums like a churning steam press, a chorus of celestial voices. Instruments collude and collide in a roiling shoal and then dissipate, leaving a cavernous hole, a ghost town, the vestiges and echoes of a brief terrestrial existence. Out in Dallas and “other parts of the country,” where seemingly mild psychotropic disturbances can have vast and sinister implications for certain elements within the local populaces, Pyramids conjure the cacophonies of the great unknown, one song at a time.
What are you currently listening to?
Ruhr Hunter, Menace Ruine, Blut Aus Nord, Ulan Bator, Wraiths, Grouper.
What is the a story behind the band name?
One searches and searches for a band name that just clicks, until it does, and when this word arrived, it never left.
Who were your main influences when it came to creating Pyramids?
Blut Aus Nord.
Is there a reason you chose to use as much reverb as you did?
James Plotkin is a modern genius, and turned the knobs on the mix. I am not sure it is all reverb you are hearing, but I understand what you are referring to. He just plain knows how to mix, and finds a perfect space for everything. We wanted a blissful sound, and we got it.
You got to work with some pretty amazing producers on your debut album, how’d that go?
Inspiring. We play music because somebody or somebodies inspired/inspire us. So working with those very artists that inspire you is a mind-blowing experience. Hands down.
Have you ever considered doing soundtrack work?
We would not be opposed to it.
What’s the best venue you’ve played at, and why?
We have never played live.
What’s next for the band?
We just completed the mix on a new full length.
Are you living your dream?
Yes.
