LA-based Alternative Rock band Gale Forces have released the new single “Last Man Under The Moon” (b/w “Scabland”). The main single shows evidence of the band’s latest evolution into a heavier sound, and the b-side shows off their acoustic chops.

The band shares:

“Last Man Under the Moon” is a song that harkens to man’s days before modern convenience was at our fingertips; when ones senses were heightened to the extreme, out of sheer survival. And that perhaps this was a more idyllic state of man. The song will be accompanied by an acoustic interlude track titled “Scabland.”

The accompanying video was crafted with the band’s frequent collaborator and animator Arturo Baston aka “A Bass-Tone” (Barcelona). The video takes specific lines from the song and crafts a two part story. Firstly, of a night run for a clan of hunter-gatherers, which is followed by a motif of a father discovering the psychedelic affects of mescaline, while his family plays out a musical ritual under his hallucinations in the sky.

Gale Forces was formed by Jade Devitt in 2014. After taking part in the 90’s Seattle music scene as drummer of Engine Kid (Revelation Records), and later as a member of This White Light (2017-2019) with Greg Anderson of Sunn O))), Devitt set out on a new musical experience as frontman.

The release of the self-titled 5 song EP Gale Forces in 2014, and full-length Strawberry Peak in 2017, was followed by 2023’s Highlights of Existence when DeVitt teamed up with guitarist and producer Gabe Van Benschoten (Mossbreaker), and fellow Seattle alumni Isaac Carpenter (Awolnation, Adam Lambert) on drums.

Now with the addition of bassist Peter Forslund, Gale Forces continue to explore the heavier side of their influences. Their latest single, “Last Man Under the Moon”, dabbles in lower guitar tunings, and sparser arrangements.
