Stream It From The Mountain: Lioness – Time Killer

Lioness is a new, Dayton-based 11-piece folk-rock collective featuring members of local  favorites such as Captain of Industry, Motel Beds, Me & Mountains, Shesus, and Ohio Casket.  Their impressive debut album, Time Killer was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Micah Carli (formerly of Hawthorne Heights) at Popside Recording and was recently released by Dayton imprint, Magnaphone Records.  Led by vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Nathan Peters, the collective creates colorful folk-rock with the same infectiously anthemic rush of early Arcade Fire with inventive and engaging arrangements featuring swirls of strings, subtle synths and close-knit harmonies courtesy of vocalists Elizabeth Cooper, Maria Dixon and Kimberly Passmore. 

I could have just as easily dedicated one of my 3 Songs: On Repeat features to Lioness with the stellar, statement-making opening track, “America’s Greatest Country Freedom Song”, the eerie, David Bowie and Southern Gothic-tinged standout track, “Relations” and its piano-led follow-up “Sham Wow” making the cut but just listen to the excellent entire album below; it deserves to be heard by the masses!
