We used to say that Banshee Tree was one of the best kept musical secrets in the country, but the talents of this band have long since emerged from the shadows. This high-energy quartet from Denver, CO explore dynamics of sound through mystical corridors while blending modern indie trance and psychedelic rock with gypsy jazz. They draw a thread from a progressive music paradigm to earthy acoustic roots in a way that seems to spin the whole world on its axis. They take audiences on an untethered sonic adventure which always remains grounded in the art of brilliant songcraft. Their previous Crazy Horse performances left audiences stunned and craving more. If Thom LaFond was a sea captain, he’d be unafraid to steer the ship straight into the storm. This vibey frontman orchestrates an immersive mood with lyrical journeys framed by guitar solos escalating from a simmer into a meltdown. His songwriting gift exceeds what most will ever be able to achieve in terms of alchemizing emotional impact with groove-centric compositions. The hypnotic, deceptively complex drumming of Michelle Pietrafitta is as fun to watch as it is to dance to. The upright bass of Jason Bertone holds it all together with a rich resonance and funky swing. Jesse Shantor is a joyful sparkplug in the mix, alternating between sax and keys.
Their highly improvisational live show makes crowds go wild, while their cutting-edge, indie-style songwriting quenches cerebral cravings. There is nothing quite like it on the scene. They will be touring in support of their new record, Bad Luck. Just from hearing the first two singles, we can already tell you this will be one of our favorite releases of the year.
