LETHE Adds Full-Time Drummer

August 8, 2009

Seattle-based psychedelic stoner rock outfit LETHE (featuring members of SAMOTHRACE) has completed work on its debut album, "Mnemosyne", for a late 2009 release via instrumental music giants Reptile Records. The CD was recorded at Black Lodge studio and Mixtape Soundlabs in Lawrence, Kansas by Eric Graves from THE ESOTERIC.

Commented bassist Dylan Desmond: "We have a full-time drummer now named Adrian Guerra who also plays drums in the Seattle band SOD HAULER. He's kicking ass and we're writing a lot of new material with him. We're officially a three-piece now, and Adrian's input and style is a huge step up for our songwriting!

"We're in the process of planning a November/December tour, and are probably going to begin recording a new full-length sometime early next year."

"Mnemosyne" track listing:

01. Mother Milk Eyes
02. Therefore Let Us Feed The Beast
03. New Queen's
04. Open Harvest
05. Mnemosyne

The songs "Mother Milk Eyes" and "Therefore Let Us Feed the Beast" are available for streaming on the LETHEMySpace page.

LETHE was started by Dylan Desmond and Joe Proffitt of SAMOTHRACE in 2004. They enlisted a score of friends and guest musicians to aid in the completion of "Mnemosyne", including contributions from John Momberg (who has played with UNWED SAILOR, KELPIE, APPLESEED CAST and KOUFAX),JC Cirese (THE OLD BLACK),Mat Grader (THE COSMOPOLITICS),and Adam Kruckenberg on synth/noise. SAMOTHRACE drummer Joe Proffitt handles all the guitars and plays the didgeridoo on the song "Open Harvest", while SAMOTHRACE bassist and part-time BATTLEFIELDS touring member Dylan Desmond holds it down on bass.
