New Tau Single Is Already Written
- Written by Marky Edison
Berlin-based, Belfast born psych-collective Tau return with ‘It's Already Written’ and its mind-altering video online now, it is the first single lifted from Tau 's second album Tau And The Drones Of Praise out February 4. The band play two shows in Dublin in December, at Drop Dead Twice on December 15 and Vicar Street on December 22.
‘It’s Already Written’ is a one chord scorcher full of mantras inspired by the cosmic serpent and its relation to DNA theory. The song is powered by some amazing muted harp work by Andy Aged that sounds like it's straight out of a mescaline dream sequence and peppered by Pyramid frontman and ‘70s Chicago freejazz originator Idris Ackamoor's own cosmic saxophone interpretations.
Frontman Shaun Mulrooney (Humanzi, Admiral Black) mixes his own potent brew of esotericism with this euphonic dance number, that reminds the listener of Tau 's conception in the Berlin psych scene. His personal involvement with luminaries Dead Skeletons and Damo Suzuki are immediately audible in this searing first single from Tau’s second album. The tracks' exciting collaboration with old and young masters is a taste for the album to come, and is a must for those with an ear for æther-surfing lysergic rock music and deep, conscious psychedelic songwriting.
