Background information über 'Homegoings And Transitions / Shadowline'

This limited edition EP showcases Floor at their most emotionally resonant, delivering two tracks that perfectly encapsulate the band's evolution from their earlier crushing doom work into more nuanced stoner rock territory. "Homegoings And Transitions" opens with a haunting melodic framework that builds into the kind of heavy, atmospheric soundscape that made Floor legends in the underground scene. The addition of Melissa Hope Friedman's vocals adds an ethereal quality that contrasts beautifully with Steve Brooks' signature growl, creating a dynamic that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.

"Shadowline" serves as an exclusive piece for this release, offering fans something truly special that can't be found anywhere else in the band's catalog. The track demonstrates the tight rhythm section work of Henry Wilson on both drums and bass, while the dual guitar attack from Anthony Vialon and Steve Brooks creates layers of fuzz-laden riffs that hit like a freight train. Recorded at Atomic Audio and mixed by the legendary Kurt Ballou at Godcity Recording Studio, the production captures every nuance of the band's crushing yet melodic approach. The etching on the B-side, copied from NASA's famous The Sounds Of Earth record, adds a cosmic touch that perfectly complements the otherworldly atmosphere of the music.

For fans of: Sleep, Electric Wizard, Monolord, Windhand, and Bongripper
