Slim Cessna's Auto Club tour throughout Europe, starting next week
04-06-2024Reaching the 32nd year of their career, Slim Cessna’s Auto Club present their newest LP, Kinnery of Lupercalia / Buell Legion, released May 31st. This is the second part of a trilogy of albums started with Kinnery of Lupercalia; Undelivered Legion by Munly & The Lupercalians. Developed on the basis of a writing by Munly J. Munly, ‘Kinnery of Lupercalia: Buell Legion’ perfectly represents the contribution of all the members creating what’s the Denver sound is known for. “This album captures the perfect balance between our studio and live sound.” – explains Munly J. Munly.
With the new chapter of the trilogy, Munly showcases the story of Buells, one of the legions, direct descendants of the Northrops-Petr & The Wulf. An existential journey in the mythical world takes the listener to meet the creatures full of dread and heredity, accomplishing their wants against their instincts. “They should be as they sprouted from the Northrops, the miserable Three Hunters. SCAC represents the Buells, a bit more gregarious and unreserved than other Legions of Lupercalia”.
Putting together the skeletons of the future record during the pandemic, Munly presented his ideas to all the members, his creative family who worked on the arrangements and the creative interpretation of the material. Written on the basis of the apocalyptic stories from the unknown world. According to Andrew Warner: “While the world was falling apart, I was happily building up many different versions of these songs with input and help from the rest of the band. So, I suppose I have this album to thank for my relative sanity”. The newest addition of George Cessna on baritone bass brought a different sense of melodies to the drum parts of Andrew Warner. While the soundscapes of Rebecca Vera complemented the entire atmosphere taking the sound to untraditional territories with the pedal steel and keyboard textures.
