Kansas City-based record label High Dive Records announced the signing of psych rockers The Conquerors earlier this week, adding to an impressive roster of artists that also includes Bummer and Rev Gusto, who have both recently released albums.
In celebration of the announcement, High Dive has released two new songs from The Conquerors, “I Don’t Know” and “I See You.” Recorded at Element Studios by guitarist Vincent Lawhon and mixed/mastered by Joel Nanos, the tracks put the psych pop group’s finest attributes on display. From a swath of percussive accents to shimmering guitar tones bathed in warm vocal layers, these songs take the listener on a euphoric, transcendental journey.
The Conquerors also plan to release a 7” single later this fall with two more new tracks, “You Must Be Dreaming” and “Maybe Someday.”
