Comet Control
Last updated: 13 hours ago
Toronto's Comet Control emerged in the middle part of the 2010s with a heavy sound that fused together tones of riffy psychedelia, shoegaze, noise, and Krautrock. Signed to New York indie <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Tee+Pee+Records%22">Tee Pee Records</a>, they followed their eponymous debut with 2016's cosmic Center of the Maze and 2021's Inside the Sun.
When their Toronto-based psych-metal band <a href="spotify:artist:7cg8HUil3ALfro6fFNIgjY">Quest for Fire</a> split up in 2013, guitarist Andrew Moszynski and vocalist/guitarist Chad Ross decided they weren't done working together and re-formed under the name Comet Control. With the addition of bassist Nicole Howell, drummer <a href="spotify:artist:6JmIhcQyLSSwfX16tYR1r8">Jay Anderson</a>, and Christopher Sandes on keyboards, the band added a layer of shoegaze dreaminess to the thudding heaviness of <a href="spotify:artist:7cg8HUil3ALfro6fFNIgjY">Quest for Fire</a>'s sound. Working quickly, the group began playing shows in May 2013, then hit the studio to record an album. Released in May 2014 by <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Tee+Pee%22">Tee Pee</a>, Comet Control was recorded at Toronto's Candle Recording (<a href="spotify:artist:05C3EDw4Rf0qMhrdjFKncL">Fucked Up</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5HTY4xpY9n7atMo4z8FTNh">Sebastien Grainger</a>) and produced by the bandmembers themselves. After some touring behind the album, the band started work on their next album at Candle Recording with engineer Josh Korody. Heading down a similarly heavy path, Comet Control added some simplicity and focus to their sound on 2016's sci-fi-influenced Center of the Maze.
After a 2018 tour of Europe with like-minded psych-rockers <a href="spotify:artist:0nsphA9KDqbJ64duYRoEBi">Earthless</a>, Moszynski and Ross began writing and recording at their own Palace Sound Studio in Toronto. The results became Comet Control's third LP, Inside the Sun, which appeared in August 2021. ~ Tim Sendra, Rovi
