"Balancing pop accessibility and ethereal reach... oozing with aura and mood, but still purposeful in its structure." -- The Obelisk
Vancouver, BC trio Space Queen share a new single today, "Incantation" as a teaser for their forthcoming full length debut album out later this year. The Obelisk discusses the track and the band, whose previous EP the site included in their Best of 2023 picks, HERE. "Incantation" is also now streaming on all DSPs HERE.
Space Queen is the stoner rock evolution of power trio Jenna Earle (guitar/vocals), Seah Maister (bass/keys/vocals) and Karli MacIntosh (drums/vocals).
Space Queen takes the trio’s signature haunting vocal harmonies and sends them soaring over a cosmic canvas of neo-psychedelic rock. Driving beats from MacIntosh provide an anchor for Earle’s heavy distortion and 70s-style riffs, while Maister keeps everything grounded on fuzzed-out, gnarly bass.
The band released their debut EP in 2020 which garnered a ton of favorable press and college radio play, including landing on the Earshot charts. Space Queen was featured on Nardwuar The Human Serviette’s radio show for a month leading up to their EP release.
Space Queen has steadily increased their following by opening for Meatbodies, King Buffalo, Blackwater Holylight, Dopethrone, Cancer Bats, Hippie Death Cult, Mondo Drag, The Well, Acid Mother's Temple, RIP, Spirit Mother, Spoon Benders, Hastronaut, Mos Generator and Black Mastiff. The band also hit multiple festival stages including Massif Music fest, Electric Highway, Tune It Down Turn It Up Festival, The Dream Roll, The California Avocado Festival, Noise Cult Festival, Rock 'n' Roll Pride, and Fallen Fest.
2023-2024 have been landmark years for the band: They released their sophomore record, Nebula, supported by extensive touring in western Canada, across-Canada (to Toronto to play NXNE), the U.S. west coast, and Southern California multiple times.
Nebula landed on Best of 2023 lists by The Obelisk and Diary Of Doom.
