Austin Based Band, The Mammoths Drop “Green Eyes”, A New Single

“On our previous songs we’ve just wanted to smash and we wanted the songs to be super loud, and while we still have some of that in this album, it’s much more focused.” Rush adds that they’ve found that the album “overall is a lot more of a distilled version of what we’ve been making. It’s much more intentional in our songwriting.” 

“Green Eyes” demonstrates this refined method as the music is not arbitrary, but rather serves the lyricism within the song as well as the overarching subject matter of the album. Kapsner says as the group employed a conscious approach to the album, they’ve found a general thematic trend: “A lot of the songs are based on seriously touring six months out of the year for the past two years, so we’re home half of the year and gone half of the year.”

Song of the Day - The Mammoths “To the Bone”

“The Mammoths have flaunted their woolly sounds onstage opening for the likes of Bright Light Social Hour and A Giant Dog, and they’ve most recently joined forces in-studio with producer-mixer Jeff Saenz, who’s already collaborated with Leon Bridges, Paul Cauthen, and Nikki Lane. The Mammoths’ inherently nomadic elements pop up again on their upcoming debut LP Lonely Roller, a national tour awaits them next week, and today you can get down to the core of what makes this infectious four-piece great, “To The Bone”!”

Advance Review - The Mammoths: Green Eyes

“If you're looking for something that toes the line between rock and psychedelic, you've found it here. The keys used in the song remind me of classic tracks by The Doors, while the guitar goes for something a little harder. Vocally Kapsner's style has a bit of blues and rock edge to it as he slyly delivers the vocals in this one. "Green Eyes" is another highly listenable, banger that you'll be sure to want to sing and dance to!”

The Mammoths Return to Dallas, Where the Band Got Started, To Record New Album

“The Mammoths are an Austin band with Dallas roots, and they are ready to show off their fusion of blues-rock and psych-soul to the city where it all came together…’My lease just ran out, and the band got one of those pay-to-play gigs at House of Blues,’ Kapsner remembers. ‘Michael and I moved into a garage apartment in Plano, so we could sell all of our tickets. For a month, we went out every night slinging tickets to friends and strangers and came home to that tiny room... That was some good bonding time that we’ll, hopefully, never have to do again.’ These days, the band spends half the year touring around the country, constantly honing its eclectic sound.”

The Mammoths stray from the herd

“Recently likened to ‘Black Keys on an acid microdose,’ the band’s soulful psychedelic rock is both familiar and hard to pin down.”

”When not on the road, the band gigs heavily around Austin. During [2018] South by Southwest, they played 10 shows as The Mammoths — and another seven backing their friends in the Seattle band Acid Tongue — all in the span of 17 days. Currently, they’re halfway through recording their full-length debut at Modern Electric Sound Recorders, a Dallas studio that’s earned the loyalty of Texas royalty like Leon Bridges and the Reverend Horton Heat.”

ARTIST OF THE MONTH Spotlight

"The Mammoths prove that rock ‘n’ roll is far from dead - in fact, it’s thriving within each member of this impassioned rock band. Their fusion of psychedelia and blues into a nod-worthy set of spellbinding and sharp tracks pushes them into the status of qualified rockers. From the deep, undisguised vocals of their song “Pocket” to the fiery, fast-paced jam of guitar and percussion in “So Cold”, they offer a little taste of everything in terms of killer songwriting and spirited, raw talent."
