On their track “Opium Den/Fade to Blue,” Blues Control have a unique take on psychedelic that diverges from most contemporary bands that use that descriptor. The song meanders through new age sounds as a video backdrop of eerie, ethereal images floats by. After a few dates in Brooklyn in the end of January, the band will launch an extensive North American tour in earnest on February 1st. Blues Control plays Austin on February 9th. Full list of dates below.
