Comment: I got COVID about a month ago, and it left me with a lingering cough that has been really, really annoying. It has barely let me do anything other than rest due to the headache coughing so often gives me, but I had to come and write about the new single from one of my favorite post-rock/dream-rock acts: The 93. First of all, it had been two years since I last wrote about them (time flies!), and secondly, this track shows how the duo’s sound has evolved without losing the characteristics that define them.

“Sia” does not sound like anything the brothers Mazur have released before, but it still sounds like them. It has the enchanting instrumentation and atmospheric guitar lines we have come to expect from The 93, but with stronger, less ethereal vocals and some traces of a Phil Collins/Genesis influence. They started working on this song in 2018, but they hadn’t been able to finish it until this year. I’m glad they did.

The 93 are planning to release one more song this year, and I, for one, can’t wait to listen to it.

Release date: June, 2022

Comment: I love guitar-driven atmospheric tracks and that’s exactly what T.A.M. regulars, The 93, bring us with their brand new single: Ascension. Continuing with their usual space travel theme, this song is about what must be felt when your spaceship is rising up towards unknown and beautiful galaxies: that conflicting feeling of falling down while the ship is going up.

Enjoy this gorgeous soundscape and support these talented brothers!

The 93 – Welcome

ArtistThe 93

Song: Welcome

Genres: #dreamrock #alternativerock

Location: Cardiff, Wales

Release date: December, 2021

Comment: It’s been a while –fourteen months, to be precise– since the last time incredibly talented band The 93 released new music, so I’m happy to report that they are back with a superb new track that certainly ticks all the boxes. Their sound is evolving without changing too much either. They still have their dreamy guitar lines and distinctive soundscapes we enjoy so much, but Welcome got full lyrics now delivered via muffled vocals that make you feel as if you were listening to the song in the middle of a dream. A dream about space travel.

Enjoy this Christmas present we got from brothers Mazur: The 93.
