REZN, “a Chicago doom band that specialises in building immersive sonic environment” (Stereogum), present “Aerial Birth,” an atmospheric new track off of their new album, Cycles in the Infinite Dream, out 24th July via Sargent House. This record introduces a new tool in REZN’s trade: Spencer Ouellette’s lap steel guitar. The instrument conjures the extraterrestrial weightlessness of the pedal steel guitar featured on Brian Eno’s Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks album, providing a similar bridge between cosmic ambience and the wide-open terrains of Western music. This is showcased on “Aerial Birth,” where Phil Cangelosi’s roiling basslines provide the counterweight to Ouellette’s helium-grade lap steel before thick slabs of distortion and Patrick Dunn’s rhythmic battery pull everything back to a gravitational center. Throughout, Rob McWilliams’ voice is as beguiling as ever. Listen to REZN’s “Aerial Birth” 
Since forming over a decade ago, REZN have carved out a unique place in the landscape of heavy music, chiselling away at the crude formations of the topography, mining the most concentrated metallic ore from the dirt, and shaping it all into something monumental, imposing, and divine. While they’ve always fused seismic riffs with effortless beauty and grandeur, their shifting strategies for wielding that polarity have involved varied compositional and stylistic decisions. With Cycles in the Infinite Dream, REZN masterfully harness the oppressive weight of their full sonic armoury to celestial melodies and sublime synaesthesia-inducing atmospherics in a manner so seamless it feels otherworldly, as if occupying a liminal space between two realities. While REZN traffic in the unbridled realms of metal and untethered reaches of psychedelia, Cycles in the Infinite Dream showcases a band working with discipline and intention, even when those intentions are rendered to be purposefully cryptic. As the title implies, the album explores the nexus of our waking and nocturnal worlds. “We moved towards the dream and subconscious state as a lyrical concept and melodic theme,” the band explains. “The pseudo-waking state is a reflection of a second existence—something that you can flee to or be imprisoned by.” Later this year, REZN will bring their “progressive psych-doom metal” (Treble) across the United States.
