The first thing I noticed about
Liquid Casing's single, "A Path of Footprints Forged in the Midnight Sun," was some of the appealing off-kilter qualities. This single is the definition of controlled chaos, and I love it.
There are different influences that pop out at me at first listen -- Mars Volta, Queens of the Stone Age, Cursive. The combination of these styles and sounds lends a hard rock feel with an intricate execution. Each instrument is raging, while respectably allowing all the other elements to be heard. The slightly psychedelic effects gives this song (and band) its unique sound. To branch out like Liquid Casing has done is one gutsy move, but they truly own it. The only way to pull it off is with confidence, and that's very apparent with "A Path of Footprints Forged in the Midnight Sun."
Liquid Casing's upcoming album,
A Separate Divide, will be released on June 25. For now you can enjoy it on
their Bandcamp. Go ahead and get lost.
