The Dry Season is an Austin, Texas based band that began in March of 2008 as a neo-psychedelic, post rock group combining beautiful haunting vocals, atmospheric soundscapes, swirling effects-drenched guitar, and tight dynamic arrangements. There is a highly expansive cinematic quality to their music which is well reflected in their extraordinary videos for the songs “Follow Me Down”, “Larry” and “The Car.”
In January 2009 they released, Larry, a 5-song EP and quickly piqued interests among audiences and critics alike by staging overwhelming, emotionally splendid, atmospheric performances. Their full length self titled album “The Dry Season” was released on May 15 2011 and received exceptional reviews among local and national critics and radio deejays. They then embarked on a summer tour throughout the west and central US. Several songs from the new album will be used in the upcoming climate change documentary “At Any Cost” by the award wining independent film company Joe Public Films.
The Dry Season delicately glide from hypnotic ambient textures to sonically destructive chaos with overwhelming emotion. Within the ethereal soundscapes and the rage of distortion and bombardment of feedback, you are just as likely to experience extreme emotions like sadness and beauty, lightness and darkness, chaos and peace, happiness and melancholy. It is The Dry Season’s ability to combine, intertwine and swing back and forth from such opposite extremes to create an emotional phantasmagoria that makes this band worth experiencing.
