Electric Valley Records is proud to once again work with Grave Speaker, this time for the act’s sophomore LP, Rays of the Emerald Sun, slated for May 16 on two vinyl variants and across digital platforms.
Lurching from the swamps of Massachusetts, Grave Speaker is a one-piece psych-stoner-doom project led by John Steele. Rising from the ashes of High n’ Heavy, the doom unit made its presence known with the self-titled debut in 2023, conjuring a ‘70s aesthetic laced with the raw grit of garage rock and the haze of psychedelia.
Now approaching its second album, Rays of the Emerald Sun, Grave Speaker looks toward the future with a mix of optimism and wonder. Across six tracks, the record delves deeper into psychedelia and the stoner realm, delivering heavier, witch-invoking riffage and vocals oozing with a slow-burning, leaden haze, all while clutching tightly to its ‘70s roots.
