Ancestors to Release New Album In Dreams and Time on April 10, 2012

Posted on Friday, February 3rd, 2012

Los Angeles psychedelic prog-rock band Ancestorswill release its new album In Dreams and Time on April 10 via Tee Pee Records.

Recorded in east LA’s Infrasonic Sound (Queens of the Stone Age, Best Coast, Xasthur), the record showcases the band’s most accomplished music to date and a creative sound that morphs from thunderous cacophony to soul-searching peaks and valleys as towering riffs collide with bleak beauty and deep wells of light and dark.  

 ”In Dreams and Time feels like the culmination of everything we’ve done so far,” says Ancestors guitarist Justin Maranga. “The record incorporates elements of everything that we’ve come to feel that Ancestors is, as well as new things that we’ve never tried. We’re hoping that it will tie together fans of our previous albums Neptune With Fire, Of Sound Mind and Invisible White who may or may not have connected one release or the other, while hopefully helping us reach a new audience.  We’re excited about it.”

The track listing for Ancestors’ In Dreams and Time is as follows:

          1.) Whispers
          2.) The Last Return
          3.) Corryvreckan
          4.) On the Wind
          5.) Running in Circles
          6.) First Light  

Ancestors have also announced the addition of new drummer Daniel Pouliot (Horse the Band, ex-Bleeding Kansas) to its ranks and have been confirmed for  the 2012 Roadburn Festival, where the band will share the stage with Ulver, Killing Joke, Michael Gira, Chelsea Wolfe and more.

Posted on Thursday, June 23rd, 2011
