Formed in the fall of 1998, DEAD MEADOW<\/strong> emerged from the Washington, D.C. indie\/punk scene to fuse their love of early \u201970s hard rock and \u201960s psychedelics into a unique marriage of dreamy guitar-fuzz bliss and stoney riffs. Over the course of seven studio albums, three live records and a Peel Session, they incorporated darker eastern influences and increasingly dense and hypnotic layering as they toured such far-reaching places as Russia and Australia and performed at renowned festivals including Roadburn and Levitation fest. They\u2019ve become an inarguable pillar of the modern heavy psych movement alongside contemporaries like Black Mountain, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard and the Black Angels<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, they began work on a collection of jams and experiments for Blues Funeral Recordings\u2019 PostWax series, working up a disparate yet cohesive group of songs that placed new works alongside the culmination of ideas they\u2019d been tinkering with since the band\u2019s genesis. The result of these efforts is “Force Form Free”, a spacey and dreamy record at times, grimly propulsive at others, and which captures Dead Meadow continuing their effortless exploration of the transporting, astral-gazing form they\u2019ve spent their entire existence pushing forward. New album “Force Form Free” will be available worldwide on December 9th, 2022 (with the ultra-limited PostWax edition shipping this October to PostWax Vol. II subscribers) on various vinyl formats and limited digipack CD through Blues Funeral Recordings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the PostWax series:<\/u><\/strong> The PostWax vinyl subscription series presents exclusive limited-edition records from some of the best stoner rock, doom and heavy psych bands on the planet.
