Psychedelic desert rock ensemble AUNT CYNTHIA’S CABIN presents “Bash,” the first single to land ahead of the upcoming self-titled full length. Recorded by the band in a converted barn belonging to drummer Jeremy Luvaas, Aunt Cynthia’s Cabin not only sees the trio develop their sound but also experiment with creativity and methods of musical production. Scheduled for release on December 18, 2026, via Black Throne Productions, the album is now available for pre-order.
The first single, “Bash,” is about the need for space to explore parts of ourselves that often restrained in our daily lives. It highlights the importance of freedom of expression, especially in adulthood.
Vocalist and guitarist Brennan Justice comments: “‘Bash’ is a nickname someone in my family gave my 3 year old nephew when he gets crazy. I’d say most of the time he is an amazingly well behaved and self aware kid. Sometimes though he just needs to let loose. It reminds me of literally everyone else I know. Every age. The good thing is, he is a kid and its acceptable for him to let loose. But I think even as adults, we all have that other side of us. And I don’t necessarily mean devious or rule-breaking or anything like that. Just sometimes we have a bold and brave part of us that comes out and I think its a good thing to embrace it, granted you have the discipline to control that.”
Aunt Cynthia’s Cabin was recorded and mixed by Brennan Justice, and mastered by JJ Golden. The album was recorded in Camp Verde, Arizona. The album is available on vinyl (in variants: Black Canyon Edition, Salt Mine Edition, Desert Sky Edition), digital, and CD formats. Alongside the release an additional 4th repress (x500) of the trio’s 2020 release Misty Woman will be available on vinyl in variants Swami’s Edition and Leucadia Edition.

About AUNT CYNTHIA’S CABIN:
AUNT CYNTHIA’S CABIN is comprised of San Diego’s Brennan Justice (guitar, lead vocals), Anthony DeFreitas (bass, vocals) and Jeremy Luvaas (drums, percussion). Beginning as a duo, Justice and DeFreitas’ previous time in a surf rock ensemble saw the pair develop their signature Western tones with an excessive use of spring reverb, translating now to the ethereal, dusty sound of psychedelic desert rock. The band’s name is born from a fictional 1970s murder mystery novel dreamt up by the trio on a drunken night, capturing their embrace of “strange and heavy”, aptly fitting of the uncanny elements entwined in their music. AUNT CYNTHIA’S CABIN produce a neo-psychedelic style that carries an eerie quality. The sonic atmosphere envelopes each listener with nostalgia. It is hauntingly cinematic.
The trio began as a self-recording band with a home-brew analog-meets-digital rig set up. The DIY approach was left behind in 2019 when the outfit ventured from their hometown of San Diego, CA to Austin, TX to record Misty Woman in a studio they felt would best fit the vibe of their new compositions. Working with producer Adrian Quesada (The Black Pumas, 7-time Grammy-nominee) at Electric Deluxe Recorders, the very sun-beaten landscape that surrounds the studio fed into the quality and mood of the recordings. Initially released by Nasoni Records in February of 2020, the enthralling textures and captivating character of AUNT CYNTHIA’S CABIN’s Misty Woman returned in 2025 including the new track “Magic Touch”, on vinyl and CD via Black Throne Productions.
Aunt Cynthia’s Cabin sees the trio embark on their next chapter, leaning further into cinematic realms. Recording for this album was undertaken by the band themselves, moving out of the traditional studio set up into their own defined space, a converted barn belonging to drummer Jeremy Luvaas, a sense of freedom and creative development that can be heard across the track list. AUNT CYNTHIA’S CABIN once again join forces with Black Throne Productions for this release. Aunt Cynthia’s Cabin will be unveiled on December 18, 2026.
