Enigmatic southern-psych duo Ancient River announced their forthcoming album Keeper Of The Dawn by sharing the title track via SoundCloud today. Keeper Of The Dawn is dense with murmurs of psych prowess informed as much by their history (this is Ancient River’s sixth full-length, and eighth release since 2010) as their rich neo-psych influences.

Ancient River, the sonic brainchild of singer/songwriter James Barreto, is an ever-changing snapshot of rock n’ roll and psychedelia, flowing from the swampy roots of the American south to the far reaches of innerspace. Veterans of the psych scene, Ancient River’s wall-of-sound barrage has been honed by extensive touring across the states and beyond–including appearances at Austin Psych Fest (2013-2014), Los Angeles’ Psycho De Mayo (2014), and the Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia (2012), all the while sharing stages with the likes of Dead Skeletons, Rosco (Spaceman 3), Night Beats, Singapore Sling, Heartless Bastards, Lumerians & Ringo Deathstarr.
 
Keeper Of The Dawn is out April 14 on Summer Moon.
