About the Release
The Magnetic Ridge is a sprawling blend of heavy psychedelia, doom, stoner rock and blues, shaped by fuzzed-out guitars, hypnotic grooves and cinematic atmosphere. The album shifts between crushing riffs, spacious instrumental passages and darker, more melodic moments, with a strong sense of movement and storytelling running throughout.

About the Artist
Jack Harlon and the Dead Crows are a Melbourne heavy psychedelic rock band whose music draws together elements of doom, stoner rock, blues and desert rock. Their sound is closely tied to the imagery and atmosphere of the Australian landscape, with western influences, evocative storytelling and extended instrumental passages forming an important part of their approach.
