Reverends leans into a smoky, psychedelic groove on “Are You Weeping Still?”, a blues-tinged rock track featuring guest vocals from Lilly Hiatt of New West. The song opens with distorted guitars ringing out into space, immediately setting a mood that feels both vintage and hypnotic.
The production gives the track real weight, huge, resonant drums, including a reverbed tambourine, anchor the song while thick guitars swirl around a vocal performance that feels cool and unforced. There’s an organic quality to the vocal tone that fits perfectly with the loose, lived-in atmosphere of the track.
Musically, the song stands out in its movement. The shifting chord changes keep the listener engaged, pulling the arrangement through waves of tension and release while staying grounded in a bluesy foundation. The result lands somewhere between psychedelic rock and Southern classic rock, with a sound that feels timeless without slipping too heavily into nostalgia.
There’s a shadowy depth to “Are You Weeping Still?” that calls to mind some of the deeper cuts from legendary bands like Jefferson Airplane, The Zombies, Cream and The Doors, not the obvious hits, but the more exploratory moments where mood and texture take center stage. Reverends manage to tap into that same spirit while keeping the track distinctly their own.
With its swirling guitars, soulful performances, and hypnotic pulse, “Are You Weeping Still?” is a slow-burning track that reveals more with each listen. Check it out here:
