Across Tundras / Sage

Neurot Recordings

Birthed in the open spaces of the western United States and now nestled in Nashville, Tennessee, Across Tundras combines a wide variety of influences for a unique and original sound. In the six years since the massive, unrelenting dirge of their debut album Divides, the band has been pigeonholed into all sorts of micro-genres—the simple truth of the matter is they fit in everywhere and nowhere at once. Sage, their fifth full-length, is their most personally artistic yet. Cohesively incorporating the classic vibes of Johnny Cash and Neil Young, the ominous heaviness of Black Sabbath and Neurosis, and all points in between, it’s organic, progressive and heavy as hell. The power trio of guitarist / vocalist Tanner Olson, bassist Matt Shively and drummer Nathan Rose have delivered an honest and powerful statement of new American music, layered with the ghosts of those who never escaped the perils of the Badlands, or were strung up and hanged for the deeds of more powerful men. Rest assured, Across Tundras continues to remind us of the struggles endured by those who stood before, as we struggle now, and ahead.
