NEW RELEASE FROM KING CANYON "BLACKTOP"
Impacting 15 December 2023
Blacktop is an edgy detour for the Melbourne four piece King Canyon.
It’s a 2:19 fast paced thrill ride through layers of thick fuzz and pounding drums, with whispers of Queens of the Stone Age in the verse.
The fearless chorus chant is like a dare to the listener;
“Just try not to sing along, Go on!”
Produced, Engineered and Mixed at Brooklet Recordings in Brooklet, NSW, Australia
by Grammy Award winning producer Nick DiDia
(Springsteen, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Powderfinger, The Living End, Train)
Mastered at Studio 301, Sydney, Australia by Leon Zervos
