Spirit Mother: Spirit Mother is a heavy rock band with their sound anthologized through a folk-informed and classical lens. Their dynamic and imposing wall of sound, coupled with a driving backbeat, grips through atmospheric strings and haunting vocals. Initially from Long Beach, CA, the band relocated to the PNW, now based in Burns, OR. Guitarist/vocalist and songwriter, Armand Lance, creates the bones of the music in the attic of his rural ranch between cattle working and mustang wrangling - a likeness to his father’s upbringing as a cowboy in Ecuador. The group convenes at this cabin to write and develop their repertoire before hitting the road for tour nationally and abroad. The band signed to Heavy Psych Sounds Records while in studio for their sophomore album “Trails” in between with regional west coast tours throughout the winter and spring of 2024. The Heavy Chronicles marks it as an individual of the Heavy Psych Sounds Records catalog, adding “darkness and soul to a psychedelia that concentrates a little too much on wisps of smoke or cosmic trips. “Trails” “reveals a band with a hybrid sound as much inspired by the hypnotic, harsh Americana of rural midwestern ghost towns as by the steamy shoegaze of the early ’90s.” The fall release of “Trails” came with another coast-to-coast US tour with stops at Desert Fest NYC and Levitation Fest in Austin, Tx, as well as supporting European dates in the summer of 2025.
