Athens, Georgia-based Dead Confedarate's music is intense - a lumbering, southern psychedelic grizzly that reveals itself like fireworks in slow motion. The songs build before they burst into either giant melodic overtures or a shimmering cascade of saturated squalor - or both. Dead Confederate are the first signing to Tao Recordings, an independent label started by Gary Gersh. The band are already building a huge buzz at tastemaker radio stations and influential blogs nationally. Their self-titled EP, produced by Mike McCarthy and Dead Confederate, is a brilliant introduction to the band in advance of their early 2008 debut full-length release.
