Signing to Deep Love Recordings, the band joins a roster with a growing reputation for left-field heavy music, including acts such as Rev3rent, Empty Shell Casing, and Fifi. The label was founded only last year, in LA, by Cody Verdecias, who has worked with Turnstile and 100 gecs. <\/p>\n
As for Prodigal, they hail from Stroud, the small market town in Gloucestershire, which isn’t exactly on the map for heavy music, or music at all. But the absence of a major city or scene has sharpened the band\u2019s self-contained identity. Prodigal have built their sound in relative isolation, a disconnect that works in their favour as “The Door” arrives feeling fully formed and untethered to any particular regional trend.<\/p>\n
Elasticated, drop-tuned guitar lines are kept in check by a tight percussive anchor. The band\u2019s sound invites loose
\ncomparisons to Deftones\u2019 earlier work and the emotional heft of bands
\nlike 36 Crazyfists, but the press materials resist leaning on nostalgia,
\n insisting Prodigal\u2019s music is its own beast. The single, the band note, was
\n produced to find \u201cbeauty within the extreme and vice versa.\u201d<\/p>\n
