The project produced an LP under the moniker Raymond Byron and the White Freighter on the Asthmatic Kitty imprint last year. Now, a new track has been released as a preview of what will come from Raymond Byron, though details are murky.</p> <p>“To Look Over the Ground” is a bleak and sparse, reverb soaked folk song that embraces the darkness and death that has always simmered beneath the surface of folk and country. The song is structured around allusions to the biblical four horseman. Though weighty and somber, the song floats by easily at under three minutes and warrants immediate replays. The only other details for the forthcoming Raymond Byron album are as follows:</p> <p><em>act 1: dusk, anxiety, cowardice and double cowardice</em><br /> <em>act 2: the clerical mystic, a deep shiver runs</em><br /> <em>act 3: oh no</em><br /> <em>act 4: the judge, all judges! a timecard</em><br /> <em>act 5: oh no</em></p> <p>Stream “To Look Over the Ground” below a few times via Soundcloud.</p> <p><iframe src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F71963618&secret_token=s-kXD7F" frameborder="no" scrolling="no" width="100%" height="166"></iframe></p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel> </rss>
