LA-based moody rock trio Karma Vulture have released their second single ‘Long Beach Vacation’ along with its music video. The track was Recorded, Produced, and Mixed by Jason Achilles Mezilis in Los Angeles, CA and Mastered by Joel Hamilton.
‘Long Beach Vacation’ is another dark, smudged, alternative rock track from Karma Vulture as they flesh out their sound, staining it in a bluesy hue. With sharp strident guitar jangling and stinging between a steady beat the track bubbles and broods within a tense and blistering atmosphere. The song builds becoming more powerful and vehement for its catchy chorus and scorching crescendo. The band weave a steamy yet eerie bass line into their fiery backdrop while the guitars push and pull with sensual pines and razor sharp riffs. These guys create thrilling raw rock tracks with an organic appeal and sultry backdrop that is utterly compelling. With raspy graveling vocals and a moody melody surrounded by an epic crashing wall of sound Karma Vulture have created an invigorating number to tantalizing our ears.
About the video for ‘Long Beach Vacation’ director Polaris Castillo said :“Inspired by the ancient Mayan concept of Kuxan Suum, which translates to “the road to the sky leading to the umbilical cord of the Universe”, the Long Beach Vacation music video follows a young man as he is plucked from his world and transcended into something greater. If you watch closely, you can see the head of a Maya native in the form of a business card holder on a coffee table in the living room while the young man is catapulted through the sofas. The Mayans believed this umbilical cord is a resonant pathway which connects us through the center of the planet, through the heart of the sun, to the galactic core, and finally, to the heart of all things. While the track signals for a nostalgic trip to the stress-free beaches of Long Beach, the visuals align by taking those same beaches as the transcendental bridge to the great beyond.”
