Canada’s instrumental progressive psychedelic groove metal trio Tumbleweed Dealer are sharing their new song “Ghosts Dressed In Weeds” from their upcoming fourth studio album Dark Green. The song features the American rapper Ceschi Ramos. The video for the song was created by Drain Hope.

The band share their thoughts about the upcoming album:
“We think the evolution between our third album, released eight years ago, and this new one will surprise some people. We didn’t write a follow-up to our last record. Instead, we incubated the band’s sound and sped up its evolution. If we kept on pace to release an album every year like we did at first, this would’ve been the 10th one. But we had kids, and that slowed down the process—So this is an evolutionary leap forward that might be jarring. We think that anyone who enjoyed our previous releases will still find what they liked in our sound while enjoying the new variety we’ve brought to it.”
Guitarist/bass player Seb Painchaud shares his thoughts:
“We used to write songs as soundtracks to imaginary scenes in non-existent movies. We’d set the mood, and the title would sum up the vibe so the listener could imagine the scene. With the new album, we tried to fit a whole darn movie in every track. And not just a regular movie: I want people to feel at the end of a song the same way I felt when I first finished watching ‘Memento.’ Amazing, confused, baffled by all the twists and turns, and obliged to start back at the beginning in order to go through that emotional ride again, now that they know where the rainbow ends. I want every song to be enjoyable, yet never predictable.
“I want to reward the repeat listeners with audio easter eggs you can’t pick up on during a first listen, so they can get engrossed deeper in the musical swamp we’ve created, kind of the same way I discover something new every time I rewatch Breaking Bad, even if it’s been seven or eight times already.”
Dark Green will be self-released by the band on February 7. The album is set to showcase Alan Moore’s retelling of Swamp Thing’s origin. The album will focus on the main character’s struggling journey and the disconnection of his own identity, and also how the antagonist changes into nature’s rage and lashes out on men.
