Domkraft will released their new album Seeds on April 30, and are now streaming the nine-plus minute title track right now. The song is everything you'd ever want out of a doom track – atmospheric and psychedelic guitarist, a massive rhythm section, and enough time between each section to really lose yourself in the music.
Even better, guitarist Martin Widholm said the song draws inspiration from Neil Young!
"Every new beginning has to start somewhere, usually by abandoning the old," said Widholm. "It’s a notion that can be sentimental and empowering at the same time, and we wanted the album to open that way. To keep in touch with the past, but still clearly heading for new ground.
"We’re all big Neil Young fans, and the slower parts with the guitar leading the way are heavily influenced by the Crazy Horse records, Weld and Ragged Glory in particular. And there’s also this spacious Gilmour-esqu take-off at the end of the song, as we wanted to make the music slightly more three-dimensional this time. The pummeling main riff, on the other hand, is pretty much typical Domkraft, a bare minimum of repeated notes with a front-loaded drum beat. It should feel like trying to push forwards through a field of mud in a sandstorm, and then, possibly, getting through to the other side."
