Austin-based duo Haedrons — guitarist/electronics mastermind Josh Vincent and drummer Jeff Gonzalez — have unveiled “Abramelin”, the second of four tracks from their forthcoming album “Palimpseste,” due April 2, 2026, via Bandcamp.
A record to mark on the calendar. “Abramelin” is avalainle for purchase and streaming now via the Bandcamp player below:
The record is self-described as “a brutalist monument to patience” — and that framing alone tells you everything about the intent behind it. Conceived and constructed intermittently between 2020 and 2025, “Palimpseste” is the result of multiple cycles of iteration and asynchronous recording sessions spanning Austin, Texas, Eugene and Astoria, Oregon — a geographically dispersed process that seems to have left its mark on the music itself: dislocated, layered, deliberately unresolved.
Four compositions make up the album: “Hyaline,” “Abramelin,” “Murmur,” and “Furcas” — the latter featuring guest saxophonist Joel McMinn-Reyna, adding an additional voice to what is otherwise a dense, self-contained sonic architecture built from guitars, electronics and drums. Mixed and mastered by Stephan Hawkes at Hawkes Studio, Los Angeles; cover art by Helvetica Blanc.
Haedrons operate squarely in the territory where Rock In Opposition, Avant-Rock, Math Rock and Experimental Progressive converge — genre tags that double as a manifesto for their approach: rigorous, oblique, built for the “omnivorous listener”, as they put it. Palimpseste arrives, in their own words, as “a construct of sonic anxiety — peculiar, pessimistic sounds intricately woven and specially attuned for the era of omnidirectional dread.”
