SWAMP RITUAL Shares Rowdy New Romper “Sunchaser”

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

By Billy Goate

What a week it has been for debuts! I swear some of the best music of the year has arrived in the waning days of summer. Bands must smell autumn doom in the air or something. The latest entry into the September swelter of new releases comes from a band that has yet to get the recognition they so rightfully deserve. I speak of the mighty SWAMP RITUAL.

Dustin Fugere (bass) and Sid LaTray (drums) are the stars of this fuzzy, frenetic freak show, which finds its origin in Montana. How shall I describe Swamp Ritual to those who haven’t been baptized into this listening experience? Let’s just say there’s a certain "Mountain Man" sensibility to their music. This is going to sound batty as hell, but hang with me as I indulge in something I love to hate: a good analogy chock full of colorful hyperbole.

Imagine that two illegitimate sons of Clutch were to spend way too much time in the mountains of Missoula, getting lost among the birds and the bears with nothing to eat but wild berries. As they search for the way back home, hungering and thirsting for a good riff, they happen upon Sleep’s tiny Yoda hovel, nestled deep within the forest, so they stop there for a spell to smoke a bowl with the Ancient Ones. About sundown, Uncle Al blesses them and sends them packing on their way down the mount. As they follow the winding path down, who should they run into but Weedeater! There stands Dixie Dave with a cross-eyed grin and a great big jar of ‘shine, looking for a couple drinking buddies. Let’s just say no one’s walking upright by the time sun sets on this day. And Swamp Ritual is born...or something like that. Ok, now you know why I scorn such indulgences in my reviews!

Let’s just say living in the wild is enough to drive anyone a little bit mad. That’s how Dustin and Sid sound when they join forces (and voices) -- unhinged, off-kilter, fists pounding the table, rowdy as fuck. Where ‘Ritual Rising’ (2015) was brooding, dark, and moody, the new record 'Sunchaser’ (2017) is noticeably spunky, mischievous, looking for trouble at every turn.

The album opens with its wicked little namesake. Immediately, I’m in love with this badass bass line I’m hearing. It’s full-bodied and hot-blooded, with plenty of juice in the gas tank and “joyride” written all over it. Take a moment to appreciate just how much Dustin and Sid flow together here, as Doomed & Stoned gives you your first listen to these salacious new sounds from Swamp Ritual!

There wasn’t a moment on Sunchaser I wasn’t engaged. There’s even some fantastic singalongs, like “Lawnmower.” Now here’s a number that I could well imagine reviving the cherished tradition of pub singing to these United States of America. “I’m all alone with my mind,” swells the robust chorus. “Actually, no.” Dustin gently corrects my mishearing and jokes kindly, “I might like that one more.” The true lyrics?

I mow the lawn when I’m high I mow the lawn when I’m high I smoke some hash, put on some thrash know it makes me go extra fast I mow the lawn when I’m high

I mow the lawn when I’m high Well, I mow the lawn when I’m high There’s nothing that I like more than a big ol’ bong, it’ll do me for sure I mow the lawn when I’m high

Thrash!

I mow the lawn when I’m high I mow the lawn when I’m high Take some shrooms, put on some doom I hope I’m done soon I mow the lawn when I’m high

Now that’s what I call a pub song! Actually, we might be bearing witness to the birth of something here, some new trend. Perhaps a “bong song”? Hmmm? Just as I’m feeling especially clever, I decide it would be a good idea to check up on this. Google tells me I'm too late -- Urban Dictionary done claimed that shit! “A song written while high on weed.” Sounds about right.

This would be a good place to pay my respects to the wizards of the soundboard. Sunchaser was recorded and mixed by Chris Baumann at Black National Studios in Missoula, who did a fantastic job of engineering, and 'twas mastered by the Master himself, Tony Reed of Mos Generator.

You have to appreciate how perfectly they captured Sid’s funky rhythms and the Dustin’s downtuned warbling, which is entirely successful in bringing “The Bearded Dragon” to life. At times, Dustin almost sounds like he’s taking a bow to a classic upright -- I mean he really makes that thing sing. You’ll swear by the track’s mid-point that the beard on this dragon owes to a frothy ale from Missoula Brewing Co.

It’s impossible not to love the moments when Sid's drumming kicks into an almost Gene Krupa-like intensity. As it does, Dustin's bass becomes practically anthropomorphic. Taking up legs and walking, tap dancing, staggering, breakdancing, and doing the splits -- then tossing out its hat at the end of it all to collect dollars from the mesmerized crowd.

Believe me, it’s as fun to watch as it is to listen to -- twice as much fun, in fact. These Montana boys are a treat to witness live! Few will give you a better show for your money. I filmed their performance at one of Doomed & Stoned’s showcases last year. We can’t wait to see them do their thing on Day I of Doomed & Stoned Festival in October. AND...when two of the best bass and drum duos in the Western US get together, watch out! I’m of course speaking about Amy and Jon Barrysmith of Year of the Cobra, who are up to bat on Day II. In the meanwhile, Dustin and Sid are gearing up for a cross-country road trip with none other than Portland's Disenchanter, which kicks off next week and blazes a trail straight to Indianapolis. Now, sit back and be awed by what Swamp Ritual can do, as I continue the conversation with Dustin below!

What can you tell me about that song Doomed & Stoned is debuting, “Sunchaser”?

The lyrics were mostly written and inspired by our last tour. Our '83 Econline has shitty headlights, so we did most of the driving during the day. Coming back into Montana from North Dakota around evening, we felt like we were chasing the sunset. The rest of the lyrics are inspired by its terrible gas mileage and lack of AC. Sid wrote most of the riffs and had the general song idea. I wrote the lyrics and helped flesh out the bridge and song structure.

Talk to us about some of the other tracks on the album. I'm especially digging “Lawnmower”!

Sid wrote all of “Lawnmower” while just chilling with an acoustic guitar. He just kinda did it as a joke, but I thought it was rad and wanted to do it with Swamp Ritual. It kinda just describes us really well and it comes from an honest place. (laughs)

I wrote the following track, “Dark Matters.” It doesn’t have a specific thing it’s about, but sort of explores a couple themes. Mostly I was thinking about space and really loud amplifiers. I didn’t have a title or chorus for a long time, then one day I was reading an article about dark matter, which inspired the title. I decided to put a little twist on it with the “s” on the end.

“The Bearded Dragon” was actually the first song we ever wrote. We didn’t really have a defined style and were thinking about being an instrumental band. We were listening to a lot of Earthless and Reverend Bizarre around that time. I definitely want to write more songs like it.

“Malacastria,” what does that word mean? I feel like I should know it.

“Malacastria” is based off of a fantasy world an older friend of ours came up with over the years. Malacaster is a very powerful necromancer-wizard skeleton who rules Malacastria. He’s not necessarily evil, but is shunned by the other wizards for practicing necromancy. Sort of a neutral evil character. We’re hoping to base more songs off this world in the future. It’s really fleshed out and is kind of a good fallback for inspiration

How would you characterize this album in relation to your last one?

It has a lot of the same themes as the last one: the occult, outer space, and just traveling, hanging out, and playing tunes. I’d say this time around we really came into our own sound-wise and in the recording process -- just more confident. On the last album, we layered the bass tracks with me playing the same thing a couple times to get a beefier sound. This time around we just recorded three bass tracks at once, but then that’s it, zero overdubs, and I think it came out a lot heavier and live-sounding. And no we’re definitely still just a two-piece. Another change on this album is Sid writing more material. He contributed on the last album a couple times, but this time around he wrote about half of it, if not more.

You're about to take off on your 'Too Doomed To Live, Too Stoned To Die' tour with Disenchanter. Figure now's as good a time as any to ask: what’s the weirdest or scariest thing that’s happened to you and Sid on the road?

Nothing too gnarly, really. In San Diego, we got woken up by the cops and told to move, so we went to a truck stop outside of town where we were woken up by this big dude covered in face tattoos. Turns out he was just a trucker who wanted to smoke a blunt with us, nice guy. Other than that, the show in Billings got moved to the local gay bar, which opened on a weekday for us. The place wasn’t really set up for bands, but it was a good time. The bartender was amazed they sold out of PBR. Guess that hadn’t happened before. (laughs)

I remember when I met you year before last at our Portland Doomed & Stoned Showcase, you and Sid were crashing in the back of your van in a motel parking lot. Sounds like you haven’t run into too many problems, though.

Not really, no. If we can’t find a place to stay, Walmart parking lots are fairly accommodating. But we have gotten lucky plenty of times with really generous people who open their doors to us. The kindness in this community can be really amazing.

That’s awesome.

With just the two of us we can make the van pretty comfortable.

I imagine so. Hey, speaking of comfort, I’ve been wondering how your fingers take the brutal hour-plus performances you put them through every night. Your poor digits must go through so much punishment! Those bass strings can be pretty thick and heavy, I imagine you’ve got a lot of callouses on your fingers? I’d worry about blistering like a motherfucker!

Definitely some blistering and callouses. Extra strings are nice, because I definitely break them. Sid chews through drum heads and sticks pretty hard, too. Extra cables are a necessity, as well. It can be a lot of maintenance. My bass has held up really well over the years and I like how it sounds, so I haven’t worried too much about upgrading. I would like a true tube amp, but they are definitely known for more upkeep, so I’ve been more than happy with my Mesa. Pedals have held up well, but I’ve lost a couple knobs off one. It’s definitely something to research with gear when you’re touring. There are some really cool things out there, but if they’re really expensive to replace or prone to breaking, you should probably look into other things.

Especially keen on your album cover this time around. Both the front and back really capture the character of the band and this collection of songs.

The artwork was done by our good friend, Wilson Smith, again. He had a whole black and white design he wanted to do, so we gave him free reign.

I think you and Sid should do some kind of dueling bass and drum deal with Amy and Jon from Year of the Cobra. What would we even call that?

I gotta think that “a really good time” comes to mind! (laughs)

No doubt! Have seen Amy play? You guys both really get into your bass. You live it, you breathe it, you become one with your instrument. I think it would be fun to do some kind of collaboration on stage, like a “call and response” kind of thing, or a joint composition.

Yeah, we played with them and Mos Generator in Missoula. Really love their music. Actually, it's some of the main stuff I listen to these days and not even because it’s just drum and bass. I would love to do a tour with them sometime and split would be great, too. Totally agree.

I just think you guys could do an absolutely awesome collaboration and I hope playing together at Doomed & Stoned Festival will have you guys hitting it off, like when Melvins and Big Business teamed up. The stuff of legend!

Yeah, I think I’m picturing the same thing. Sid and John even set their drum sets up on opposite sides, so there are some real possibilities here, alright.

Finally, we come to the all-important question: is 'Sunchaser' coming out on CD, vinyl, tape, or all of the above?

The album will be released digitally on Friday, September 15th, but we have CDs coming for the tour. Our good friend in town Marty offered to put it out on his label, Minor Bird Records, so he’s helping with that. He’ll also be putting out the debut LP by Stone Elk, so keep an eye out for that! We will also be doing a tape release in the near future. Hoping for vinyl, but we need to raise some more money first.

You heard the man, people. Let’s raise a toast to the Montana heavy underground and Swamp Ritual, who did a fine job of with 'Sunchaser.' Get out and see Swamp Ritual live and then give them all your money. You'll have one hootenanny of a night with your bestie and a bottle of Beam (assuming those aren’t one and the same)!

His apart that he doesn't know about.

Doesn't look like the Zoe we're thinking of if this is the movie series and they head out and they go off to Greenland or something and they find out some information and they come back and he goes to the upper Midwest with an army to track Trump down and figure out what he's doing

I want to tell you something that is a big piece of crap it's like 20 miles long and you can see it on Mars where they took the craps and bugs would come out and they eat bugs and they're disgusting and they're gross people they wouldn't kill the bug first they kill it in their mouth the bugs trying to bite them and they know how to do it they bite their head off so they don't get the poison and the bug is in severe agony it's not its fault but it'll kill them if they can kill it but that's not really right because I encourage them to grow and I was disgusted by their behavior and he is too but he said that there she was under so much duress she could hardly think straight and could hardly do any poop she's moving her body around and she's trying to run the the delicatessen thing and it wasn't really doing anything and the same at the beach she had a hard time thinking and was thinking some really weird stuff that like work son Dave and she didn't have it and a lot of people here don't have it at all they're under a lot of dress and this is severe dress are these gifted people turn into just really angry people and they're venting at each other and it's not right he ends up hitting Central Florida and they put APB on him and serious ones I think it gets him expelled and he hits near Georgia and up there in Iceland somewhere and he's trying to hit Jason because he manages to help her file charges because he wants to evict him and he wants to win the presidency and Trump wants to take over social security is going up against his own son and people Garth people, and those people are becoming more predominant here not less and they're going after trumpsters eventually they all get kicked out it's like the cesspool of infighting I really it's because they're small
