DRKWAV is Skerik (saxophones), John Medeski (keyboards) and Adam Deitch (drums). The three master musicians have come together for The Purge, an entirely uncompromising album debut that delves deep into the psychedelic corners of the human psyche. Due February 24 from Royal Potato Family, the recording was co-produced and mixed by venerated studio wizard Randall Dunn.
DRKWAV conjure a wall of intricately detailed sound. Each of The Purge‘s eight tracks surge and swell in cinematic overture. True to its name, the trio revels in the pitch black, yet continually discover beauty and shed light through sonic exploration.
The Purge will be available as a limited edition, multi color vinyl, double LP set, as well as on CD and digital formats. Tour dates to support the release have been announced for the Northeast and Colorado in late February and early March with additional shows to be announced.
