Chuck Doom and Saudade Release New Song Featuring Chino Moreno and Chelsea Wolfe

Saudade: Shadows & LightSaudade is a musical group with a diverse cast of contributors: Chino Moreno of the Deftones, Chelsea Wolfe, John Medeski, Gil Sharone of The Dillinger Escape Plan, and more. The musical collective is anchored by the bass of Chuck Doom, who is known for his work with Crosses and Team Sleep. He was also a young pupil of Jaco Pastorius and co-produced the Jaco documentary soundtrack.

Doom’s group has just released their first vocal single called “Shadows & Light,” which features Moreno and Wolfe. Doom fills the song’s gentle verses with harmonics and slides on his fretless 1961 Fender Jazz before a thicker texture pushes the chorus forward. The track also features guitarist David Torn, drummer Gil Sharone, keyboardist John Medeski, and Weather Report percussionist Bobby Thomas.

“Shadows & Light” is available now for download from Amazon, iTunes, and streaming services. Though an album has not been announced, the band says more music is on the way, so stay tuned.
