Washington, DC-based experimental post-rock collective Miscellen continues to thrive, releasing their seventh album, Emerald Ash, on October 2. The album features nine tracks that blend immersive atmospheres with poetic lyrics, exploring themes of resilience amid turbulent times. The core group, led by multi-instrumentalist Jason Sevanick, includes contributions from various collaborators, and the album is available as a name-your-price digital download on Bandcamp.
In related news, Sevanick and fellow former Mindless Faith member Rick Furr announced the upcoming release of the Crash the Gates maxi-single, set for November 7, intended to support vocalist Exeris’s medical expenses arising from pandemic complications.
