Late in 2021, Slow Season announced they'd become Westing, and that Ben McLeod (also of Nashville's All Them Witches) was now in the four-piece on lead guitar alongside guitarist, vocalist and keyboardist Daniel Story Rice, bassist Hayden Doyel and drummer/recording engineer Cody Tarbell. Their 2023 LP (fourth overall for RidingEasy), 'Future,' is not coincidentally titled. Says Rice, "We wanted to hit the reset button on some things and so we included a new band name to that list. Fresh start, for the psychological effect of it. We first met Ben in 2014 opening for All Them Witches in San Diego, and we did that again in 2016 and he and Cody corresponded about tape machines, music production, and other similar nerd stuff. We started swapping a few ideas early in 2021 and then flew him out for four days in August 2021. We got 'Future' mostly down in that short span and did some remote stuff for overdubs, but nothing major. Obviously, our creative processes jelled pretty well to allow for such an efficiently productive session." So the story of Westing, and of 'Future,' is about change, but the music makes itself so immediately familiar, it's so welcoming, that it hardly matters. For about 10 years, the Visalia, California, outfit wandered the earth representing a new generational interpretation of classic heavy rock. The tones, warm. The melodies, sweet. The boogie, infectious. They went to ground after supporting their 2016 self-titled third album, and clearly it was time for something different. For fans of Led Zeppelin, All Them Witches, Rival Sons, Great Von Fleet. Comes on coloured vinyl, limited 500 copies.
Also available: FUTURE (CD).

DEATHCHANT - WASTE (BLACK)Heavy music's evolution has always been a murky swamp of sub-genres.
