The Jonny Halifax Invocation Releases ‘Thank You’
Prepare to be engulfed in the sonic maelstrom that is The Jonny Halifax Invocation as they unleash their blistering new single "Thank You”.
Renowned for their mesmerising forays into extended sun-scorched psychedelic soundscapes on the critically acclaimed albums Açid Blüüs Räägs Vols.1 & 2, The Jonny Halifax Invocation now emerge with a thunderous new proposition in the form of their latest 7" single. A dynamic shift of gears in The Invocation’s sonic landscape, “Thank You” is a two minutes and thirty-seven second explosion of raw, primal energy, a revolutionary last call, an arrow shot of burning malcontent for this time.
“Thank You” goes for the kill from the first beat of filthy amphetamine buzzsaw swagger cutting some heavy sonic rug with spiritual forefathers The Stooges and MC5. Cosmic free jazz saxophonic squawks soar, while the preacher man of the apocalypse invites the congregation to question the root of their original gratitude with life or death urgency. Meanwhile over on the flip side, "Gratitude Dub” slows the rumbling groove to a lurching, swaggering rollercoaster ride of hallucinogenic dub exotica just before the wheels fall off.
"Thank You" is The Jonny Halifax Invocation’s first song release. It is a sneering sermon of defiance, a plea, a wake-up call in the face of apathy and indifference. The Invocation reminds us of the power of music to inspire hope and provoke action. This is more than just a song, a riff and a killer groove. This is a revolutionary testimonial of love and rage. The time is now. Are you ready to testify!?
“Thank You c/w Gratitude Dub” is the first in a series of jukebox 7” singles of The Jonny Halifax Invocation songs. This special limited edition vinyl will be released on both pink and black vinyl. The release will also feature a ‘sing along’ instrumental karaoke version of the track with accompanying video. Releasing simultaneously across physical and digital platforms.

Committed to continually pushing the boundaries of their sound, they are known for their unique and uncompromising live performances.
