With their forthcoming album Under the Spell of Joy landing October 2nd on Suicide Squeeze Records, Los Angeles band Death Valley Girls have unveiled the title track to the LP. Firing off with a blast of spaced-out psychedelic rock, the instrumentation is built around lashing guitar riffs and rumbling drums, topped off with front woman Bonnie Bloomgarden’s echoing vocals. There added multi-vocals, which also include a children’s choir, help push the track to epic heights.

Regarding the song, Bonnie Bloomgarden mentioned:

“‘Under the Spell of Joy’ is a space-gospel record. We believe we served as channels for what we think are guides. As we learn what the songs are about, we realize they are meant to be sang like chants, hymns, or spells. Most of the songs were recorded with 12 voices, including a kid’s choir! We are learning that words with intention and energy hold so much power, especially when said or sang with a group.”
