The 14-song disc, follow-up to their previous release, the critically-lauded A Night At The Rhythm Room, is now available for pre-order on all platforms including Apple Music and Spotify.
UTS guitarist Brandon Teskey encapsulates the tracks on Enchantment:
Enchantment (Part 1): “Short instrumental psychedelic blues-rock song whose musical theme sets the mood for the rest of the album.”
Your Well: “Powerful, original blues-rock groove with a 60’s vibe.”
All Over Again: “Cover of the B.B. King classic, done in a very different way then the original.”
Dancing On The Floor: “Funky, original blues track that’s been an audience favorite for the last year since we wrote it.”
Dragon Below: “Blues-rock tune with rockabilly beat whose lyrical content is based on an ancient Eastern parable about the seemingly meaninglessness of life, famously recounted by Leo Tolstoy in his autobiographical work, ‘Confessions’.”
Death In Disguise: “A song that was previously released on our live album we redid with a studio feel.”
Enchantment (Part 2): “Another musical interlude…rehashes the theme of Part 1 but with a slower, more somber feel.”
Hound Dog: “Cover of the classic tune done in the style of the original Big Mama Thornton version.”
Animal Within: “Upbeat original blues rock song about betrayal.”
Seek The Sunshine: “Slow blues song done on slide guitar about not giving up on life, even if you’re going through hell.”
Groovin’: “An, upbeat, blues shuffle.”
Broken Masterpiece: “A slow song with an outlaw/western and bluesy feel about depression and facing an existential crisis.”
Space For Leaving: “Somber ballad written by (UTS vocalist) Alyssa Swartz about a break-up.”
Ghost In The Prayer (Enchantment Part 3): “Psychedelic blues-rock song layered with sitar and haunting backup vocals, leading into a hidden track of Avant-garde sounds that give way to the final part of Enchantment (Part 3).”
