A Pyramid For The Living

The third Del Rey epic, A Pyramid For The Living, was released in September 2006. Drawing on diverse backgrounds of Oberlin art-rock, Peoria punk, Scottish pipe drumming, and backwoods-Maine hallucinogenica (a highly combustible mixture of narcotics and electronics), Dey Rey forge a swirling din of hypnotic rhythms, heroic riffs, and snaking, angular melodies.

'Building tension layer by layer, the percussion-driven Del Rey merges the skills of two incredible drummers with shimmering guitarwork and electronics, carving out snaking, hypnotic soundscapes with dream-like logic and nonchalant deliberation. Polyrhythms collide in precision, textures metamorphose into each other, blank minds give way to cohesive imagery - running down the middle of an empty street in a futuristic Blade Runner-like world - intense light and warmth pouring down upon the ordinarily dark and dreary.' - Skyscraper (my pal god records)
