DOOM GONG is a band based out of Louisville, Kentucky, described as “the only Denim Psych band on earth.”
They make a good first impression with their latest single, “Hour in the Sun” a vibrant and chilled-out jam that features elements of classic rock, psych, bossa nova, and more in a confident and charming manner. The track has a super laid-back summer vibe that feels like it could soundtrack a scene by the poolside with one too many empty beer bottles littered nearby.
Or as they describe it:
“Hour in the Sun” is all about savoring an ephemeral moment, like the last few seconds of sunlight before the sun sets, or the last warm days of fall before it gets chilly. This song was a happy accident, and it almost wasn’t even recorded. We had a little bit of time left after a long recording session at Thunder Sound in Franklin, KY in March of this year when we decided to work on an unfinished song idea based on a melody from the second movement of Tchaikovsky’s 4th Symphony.
