Post-Western Drone Duo Cortége Premiere New Single, "Chasing Daylight Part 1"


Austin (TX) - Post-Western, heavy ambient doom duo Cortége have partnered with The Obelisk for the premiere of "Chasing Daylight Part 1," one of the two tracks from forthcoming EP Chasing Daylight. Check it out below!

"Chasing Daylight Part 1" (Track Premiere)

New Mexico's Desert Records will release Chasing Daylight February 26, 2021 on CD and digital formats. Pre-orders available at cortege.bandcamp.com/album/chasing-daylight

The duo released the following statement concerning the signing:

"We couldn’t possibly be more pleased to announce our formal partnership with Albuquerque, New Mexico based Desert Records, for both the release of the forthcoming Chasing Daylight EP and yet to be revealed future endeavors. In procuring an impressively diverse and uniquely curated armada of heavy, droning talent across the country, Brad and his team have carved a deep etching in the independent label sphere and we’re proud to say many of our new label mates we already count among friends. And so, from an otherwise dismal year, hope springs eternal. Mark your calendars for the release of our first collaboration together; a cascading, hypnotic post western epic taken to the edge of the sunrise.”

Recorded, mixed and mastered in the fall of 2020 with Jeff Henson (DUEL) at Red Nova Ranch in Austin, Texas, Chasing Daylight is a cinematic, chrome tinged portrait du temps for the end of the world as well as a musical foreshadowing of things to come. Lush arrangements wind through the familiar Cortége territories of drone, prog, doom, western and ambient soundscapes with a few surprises therein, including a guest appearance from Michael St. Claire on brass.
