Psychedelic Desert Rock Trio AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN Presents New Single "Archangel"

A dreamy haze meets raw, emotional eruption in the new single, "Archangel" as psychedelic desert rock act AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN delves into the spiritual realms seeking reprieve from enduring night terrors. Following the bold swagger of their first single, "Bash," "Archangel" takes cues from the grand, theatrical build of OZZY OSBOURNE's "Mr. Crowley" and the adventurous guitar work of early KING CRIMSON. The track lands ahead of the forthcoming full length Aunt Cynthia's Cabin, scheduled for release on December 18, 2026, via Black Throne Productions. The album is available for pre-order HERE.

Vocalist and guitarist Brennan Justice comments: "'Archangel' is written about night terrors that I’d been struggling with for several years. It was a paralyzing experience, waking up in a panic, not quite knowing where I am, and leaving me anxious for hours or sometimes several days after. Once I accepted that, you know, this is happening and I have to really think outside the box to get rid of it, I started praying to Archangel Michael for protection while I sleep. So the song is about the terrors and my prayer for a safe place to sleep."

With "Archangel" the band deviates from their usual doubled-guitar arrangement, using only a single lead guitar track to lend the performance a more exposed, vulnerable quality. Recorded by AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN in a converted barn belonging to drummer Jeremy Luvaas, Aunt Cynthia's Cabinnot only sees the band develop their sound but also experiment with creativity and methods of musical production.

Aunt Cynthia’s Cabin was recorded and mixed by Brennan Justice, and mastered by JJ Golden. The album was recorded in Camp Verde, Arizona. The album is available on vinyl (in variants: Black Canyon Edition, Salt Mine Edition, Desert Sky Edition), digital, and CD formats. Alongside the release an additional 4th repress (x500) of the trio's 2020 release Misty Woman will be available on vinyl in variants Swami's Edition and Leucadia Edition.

Out Now from Aunt Cynthia's Cabin!

The San Diego, CA, based psychedelic desert rock trio AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN, are preparing to celebrate their 2020 debut full-length album Misty Woman with a re-release containing a new bonus track. Recorded in the midst of the sun-scorched landscape in Austin, TX, at Electric Deluxe Recorders with Grammy-award winning producer Adrian Quesada, Misty Woman contains the influence of this impressive environment. The album will arrive on cyan and magenta vinyl, as well as on CD, via Black Throne Productions on December 19th, 2025.

"Kennel and the Dog" gently introduces the album with contrasting brighter guitar leads and grounding bass tones, before building into a fuzz-fueled powerhouse. There's a subtle underlying touch of shadow beneath the brightness of the psychedelic rock sound with doom influences. Found within are moments of catchiness, intriguing progressions and full immersion. "Which One Is the Jellyfish?" drifts away from the desert and down into the echoey depths as the prominent bass tones bring to life this watery world. A touch of drama carries through the enticing arrangement in which steadfast rhythms are interrupted with flourishes of keys, guitar licks and other sonic explosions. Seeing the overdrive turned up way past 11, this instrumental offering is characterful in its world building. 

The enticing seductive mood of "Misty Woman" is brought to life with a slow tempo, a more minimalist arrangement placing the focus on Brennan Justice's lead vocals. The playful layering of instrumental components sees the track ebb and flow, gently teasing. Gradually building into a full inviting sound, "Rider in the Desert Sun (Pt I)" sees a multitude of tones and textures manifest throughout it's journey. The presence of additional organ layers reveals a 'feel good' vibe in this instrumental track. Hidden further within, a heavier rock section reveals further stylistic influences in the band's sound. "Rider in the Desert Sun (Pt II)" follows on from it's brighter first half with a dustier, more raucous rock 'n' roll spirit. This guitar driven track brings memorable hooks in the lead vocal melody supported with fuzzy distortion laden chord progressions beneath. 

A sense of drama and adventure is prevalent from the off. "In the Valley"'s steadfast percussion hits contrast the bright tones of the guitar strums and notes that float above. There's an uplifting and comforting feel to this expansive and immersive instrumental offering. "There’s No Saving Cass" returns from the wild expanse of the valley into the Western plains. Subtle bass grounds the track while the lead guitar and lead vocal line entwine, rising and falling together. Reaching it's full arrangement, this charismatic track delves into the heart of the band's psychedelic rock style. "Grains of Sand", an interlude piece, briefly diverts in mood and feel. Acoustic guitar arrangement contribute to the track's melancholy feel that reverberates through a slow tempo and contemplative progressions. 

The intensity of "Black and Blue" hits instantly. The high octant feel and movement of the track's rhythms is instantly alluring. Dynamically, it ebbs and flows between brief moments of reflection and full on vigorous impact. Taken from the Miramar Sessions,the bonus track "Magic Touch" offers a more intimate feel of AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN's sound. 

About AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN:
AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN is comprised of San Diego’s Brennan Justice (guitar, lead vocals), Anthony DeFreitas (bass, vocals) and Jeremy Luvaas (drums, percussion). Beginning as a duo, Justice and DeFreitas' previous time in a surf rock ensemble saw the pair develop their signature western tones with an excessive use of spring reverb, translating now to the ethereal, dusty sound of psychedelic desert-rock. The band’s name is born from a fictional 1970s murder mystery novel dreamt up by the trio on a drunken night, capturing their embrace of “strange and heavy”, aptly fitting of the uncanny elements entwined in their sound. AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN produce an neo-psychedelic sound that carries an eerie quality. The sonic atmosphere envelopes with nostalgia. 

The trio began as a self-recording band with a home-brew analog-meets-digital rig set up. The DIY approach was left behind in 2019 when the outfit ventured from their hometown of San Diego, CA to Austin, TX to record Misty Woman in a studio they felt would best fit the vibe of their new compositions. Working with producer Adrian Quesada (The Black Pumas, 7-time Grammy-nominee) at Electric Deluxe Recorders, the very sun-beaten landscape that surrounds the studio fed into the quality and mood of the recordings. 

Initially released by Nasoni Records in February of 2020, the enthralling textures and captivating character of AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN's Misty Woman returns including the new track "Magic Touch", on vinyl and CD via Black Throne Productions on December 19th, 2025.
