Dead Meadow's Jason Simon announces new solo LP with opening track "The Same Dream"

10 March 2020, 13:03 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Jason Simon of Dead Meadow has announced his new solo LP A Venerable Wreck, which arrives with the opening single "The Same Dream".

"The Same Dream" is Simon's first new track since last year's Old Mexico collaborative LP with Dave Mihaly and Mark Matos.

Simon says of his new album opener, ""The Same Dream" was written on a banjo where I've attached a 60's gold foil pickup to the head allowing it to be amplified in way akin to an electric guitar and using a tuning I picked from the likes of Clarence Ashley and Dock Boggs. Lyrically the song investigates our shared delusions inherent in the concept of endless economic growth."

The Dead Meadow vocalist/guitarist recorded A Vulnerable Wreck over the past couple of years at his own studio and at multiple spaces in LA, and worked with musicians including Nate Ryan and The Warlocks' Jason Anchondo.

Dead Meadow are yet to follow up their 2018 LP The Nothing They Need.

Tracklist:

  1. The Same Dream
  2. See What It Takes
  3. Snowflakes are Dancing
  4. The Red Dust
  5. Moments of Peace
  6. Jupiter
  7. A Venerable Wreck
  8. The Old Ones
  9. No Entrance No Exit
