Highlight Reel of EP.40 Mr.Bison

Mr. Bison — the Italian four-piece from coastal Tuscany — break down their whole story in this highlight from their conversation on The Sonic Road Podcast, ahead of their new album The Garden of Forgotten Dreams, out September 25th on Heavy Psych Sounds. In these highlights, the band gets into forming as a trio in 2009, losing their bass player after a year, and the octave-split solution that carried their early Clutch and Fu Manchu sound before they grew into the heavy psych and progressive territory they work in now. They talk about the garden as a metaphor for refuge and the things we keep hidden until we're ready to share them, the meaning of "The Cosmic Tide" and going with the flow when life runs over you, and working with Richard Behrens at Big Snuff Studio in Berlin — who pushed them to track with no reverb, delay, or effects for the clearest sound they've made. They also get honest about the reality of the scene in Italy, why they tour Europe to find their audience, playing everything from tiny smoky German clubs to festival stages, and the working-class spirit of the underground that keeps them going. 🎧 Full episode & newsletter → thesonicroad.com
