LISTEN: Down – ‘We Knew Him Well’

Down fans have been waiting for the mighty NOLA group to unveil just a taste of their awaited new EP, Down IV – Part Two, the follow-up to 2012’s well-received Down IV Part I – The Purple EP. A sublime distillation of everything that makes Down, readers can check out We Knew Him Well below.

The hard-rocking, hard-drinking, and hard-smoking supergroup was recently in the country for Soundwave 2014, even playing a string of sideshows with Walking Papers and Alice In Chains. Music Feeds was at their Melbourne performance, which culminated in a SW all-stars jam.

Down IV – Part Two currently has an expected release date of Tuesday, 13th May and can be pre-ordered via iTunes now. If We Knew Him Well is anything to go by, it sounds like fans are in for more swamp-bred sludge-rock, with plenty of hypnotic riffs and classic Phil Anselmo growls.
