Los Angeles’ mystics Agriculture have unveiled “Dan’s Love Song,” a meditative new track from their upcoming album The Spiritual Sound, due out October 3.
Unlike the band’s usual storms of radiant heaviness, this song feels like a pause — a quiet moment within the chaos. Guitarist/vocalist Dan Meyer describes it as “a love song to a future child,” reflecting on the strange comfort of knowing that even before life begins, all the matter that makes it possible already exists. “I’m really talking about the principle that everything is totally connected,” Meyer explains.
That kind of perspective runs through The Spiritual Sound, an album written largely between Meyer and fellow songwriter Leah Levinson. Where Meyer channels ecstatic grief, Zen Buddhism, and the collapse of history into his work, Levinson grounds her songs in queer history and the weight of survival. Together, their voices merge into a single, spiritual grammar — one that Agriculture build communally, tearing songs apart and reassembling them through persistence, conflict, and trust.
Formed out of L.A.’s noise scene, Agriculture has grown into a band that blends ecstatic black metal with devotional intensity. Their past releases — The Circle Chant (2022), the self-titled LP (2023), and Living Is Easy (2024) — each stretched that vision further, but The Spiritual Sound looks inward as much as outward. It’s music rooted in everyday life: gas station snacks, sleeping on floors, mildew-stained venues, and the messy, ordinary connections that give their work its pulse.
Agriculture doesn’t promise salvation, but presence — the demand to confront the unbearable and the divine in equal measure.
