The Fires

What’s your kind and can we bind?
If it’s blinding, then it’s light
Who decides when you’re alive?
If you’re striving, you will thrive

It’s in my head
My good thoughts end up dead
It’s in my head
My good thoughts end up dead
It’s in my head
It’s in my head
It’s in my head

You can find where to go
If you give up your control 
Spin your mind, vertigo
You must give up your control
Oh, your control

And pour your blue skies into mine
Pour your blue skies into mine
Restore all the light
Restore all the light
Restore all the light
Restore all the light

What’s your kind and can we bind?
If it’s blinding, then it’s light

It’s in my head
My good thoughts are not dead
It’s in my head
My good thoughts are not dead
It’s in my head
It’s in my head 
It’s in my head
It’s in my head
It’s in my head
My good thoughts are not dead
It’s in my head

New Age Healers Release Powerful New Shoegaze Single

Seattle’s New Age Healers announce the release of their first new music since 2020’s pandemic inspired collaboration “In Dreams” that featured members of Sacramento’s Soft Science, and Seattle’s Jupe Jupe and Black Nite Crash. “Don’t Let Me Go” leads off a yet unnamed full-length out summer 2022. Recorded by Matt Brown at Avast Studios and Crackle & Pop in Seattle, the song is described by the band as “a bombastic tornado of shoegaze.” Songwriter Owen Murphy jokes “it’s about the disintegration of friendships in a period of great change. Keep your friends close, until they become your enemies. Then keep them closer.” 

’New Age Healers is a Seattle based shoegaze/psych-rock project featuring vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Owen Murphy, guitarist Jeramy Koepping (Voyager One, Grand Hallway), drummer Adam LeVasseur (Feed), bassist Allen Murray (Modern Athletics) and keyboardist Farkhad Saidmuratov (Kotlovan). NAH has three full length releases, 2016's Ghosts which NPR's Jim DeRogatis called "wonderfully dark, hypnotic shoegaze," 2017's Where the Tragic Happens which The Strangers' Dave Segal described as having "slyly catchy melodies and occasional anthemic flourishes." In 2019 the band released Debris engineered by Barrett Jones (Foo Fighters, Nirvana, etc.) which garnered airplay around the globe and most significantly here in Seattle on KEXP where they have been played over 170 times and have also been lucky enough to do a live in-studio session on the Midday Show with Cheryl Waters.

Shows:
Seagaze Music Festival, Friday, April 22nd, LoFi Seattle with Blushing, Fotoform, Bloody Knives, Letting Up Despite Great Faults, and Soft Science.
Film School, somesurprises, Karate Church, Bellingham, WA. Friday, April 29th 

Reviews: 
Jim DeRogatis, NPR's Sound Opinions: "Wonderfully Dark, Hypnotic Shoegaze..."
DKFM: “...cascading guitars and confident choruses overlay a propulsive  beat(s)...”
Jersey Beat: "Everything on Where The Tragic Happens is both Irreverent and wholly accessible, accenting their darker moments with fun-loving pop aspects to soften the edge a bit without ever becoming dull."
Dave Segal, The Stranger: "Think Failure divided by the square root of the Jesus and Mary Chain. Leader Owen Murphy has a deft hand and foot for slyly catchy melodies and occasional anthemic flourishes."
KEXP.org: "The album, released earlier this year, is a masterpiece of balance. The instrumentation is loud but clean, the writing is chaotic in its meticulous structure, and most importantly Murphy’s vocals are menacing but restrained. The result is versatile shoegaze that seems to get better with each listen."
Rob Prichard, Radio Free Brooklyn: "...deep, dense fuzzy garage grooves, swirling psychedelic guitars and a relentless rhythm section. Production is crisp and on point. If you like A Place To Bury Strangers you'll love New Age Healers."
Don Yates, KEXP: “This Seattle band’s third album is a strong set of shoegaze with fuzzy effects laden guitars, dark lyrics and dreamy melodies.”
