Release:\u00a0 30-06-2023<\/p>\n

Cory Hanson\u2019s third solo LP follows upon 2020\u2019s luminescent Pale Horse Rider, upping the heat to molten levels, six strings at a time. In search of further adventures, Cory draws with vampiric glee from the madness coursing through the world outside; a spiraling shitshow that\u2019s reawakened a compulsion in him \u2014 an old ambition, even! \u2014 to crush brutality and elegance together into a fresh set of rocks to hail down upon us.<\/p>\n

Western Cum is a high-stepping, hard-dancing, first love\/heartbreak, tonight\u2019s-the-night, future nostalgia kind of good time \u2014 the sound of guitars through the speakers of luxury cars. Like the dream you had once, alone, asleep in an amplifier, blasting Guns N\u2019 Roses through every last orifice in your body. And it\u2019s coming through!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s another side of midnight somewhere; high o\u2019clock too, and the dark, cactaceaen fantasias of the previous incarnation have hardened and dried in Cory\u2019s pre-apocalyptic garden of choice, a sun-blinded plain of sedimentary rock. Down the highway, beyond the horizon, through the looking glass, etc \u2014 he\u2019s fixed for rough times ahead, a gunslinger\/anti-hero of legend\/infamy, back in town with axe blazing and a rhythm trio dubbed \u201cSlowhand\u201d walking up the crazy horse he rode in on. You ready to boogie?<\/p>\n

Western Cum\u2019s map to the treasure is less about pastiche, though; more toward executing the songs by executioner\u2019s axe, rolling their decapitated rhythm heads and soaring melodies, the panoply of Cory\u2019s melodic impulses with guitars, guitars, guitars. Harmony leads are just the tip of the iceberg, but be quick \u2014 the guitars like to melt everything in their path! The eight songs of Western Cum are driven by the stalwart bass of brother Casey Hanson and the drums of Evan Backer with a few passing acoustics from Cory and the intermittent spirit-moans of Tyler Nuffer\u2019s steel guitar. The quartet sound \u2014 two guitars, bass and drums \u2014 acts as beat-making principle\/phrasing device, as well as template for Cory\u2019s layers of six-string and vocal textures.<\/p>\n
