US heavy psychedelic rock luminaries DEAD MEADOW present their new single “The Space Between”, taken from their upcoming tenth studio album and final recording with late bassist Steve Kille. “Voyager To Voyager” will be released worldwide on March 28th and available to preorder now through Heavy Psych Sounds Records.

Dead Meadow’s highly anticipated tenth studio album Voyager to Voyager marks a defining moment in their illustrious 26-year journey. Revered as a pioneering force in the heavy psychedelic rock scene since their formation in the late ’90s, the band delivers not only their most emotionally charged and sonically expansive album to date but also a powerful tribute to their brother, late bassist Steve Kille, whose battle against cancer and untimely passing in early 2024 has made it the poignant end of a chapter in the band’s history.

“The Space Between” is the opening track on the band’s most compositionally eclectic and sonically adventurous album to date. The song opens with thirty seconds of droning synth strings, underpinned by a haunting four-note synthesizer melody, building to an anxious crescendo. Jason Simon’s vocals — dark and compelling, the inimitable phrasing instantly recognizable — are put to the service of lyrics exploring interstellar themes and imagery; the dance of matter and anti-matter, expansion by negation, emptiness seething with activity, the expanding Universe and the space in-between. 

While the song traffics in the heavy riff-rock that has always been the band’s musical grounding, “The Space Between” adds a jazzy, prog-rock sophistication that suggests new directions for the band, perhaps a portal opening in the space-time continuum that is the Dead Meadow Universe. In the song’s final movement, Simon introduces guitar harmonies that conjure up the best of Deep Purple and Iron Maiden, before unleashing a positively kaleidoscopic guitar solo that ranks with his very best. The song ends with layers of guitar riffs peaking like exclamation points and inviting the listener into the deep end of Dead Meadow’s latest invention.
