Saw one of those twenty-five word blurbs on this and decided to sample. Good enough to give a shot. Had no clue who they were, from where, what label, "is this the debut?", nothing. You have to believe me on this for a reason I'll get to shortly. My player calls it "indie," it's definitely stoner rock. The first track is a cross of QOTSA and Tame Impala with a dash of Alice In Chains...
So I've mentioned QOTSA and I later noted Kyuss on a track, so basically Josh Homme-fronted bands. This is where you have to believe me. I did not see this until today...
So I'm late to the party but I still got it right! Now I know who they are, where they're from, the label (not a major as I was led to believe by the overall quality), and that this is long-player #4. Other bands I heard in this were King Crimson, Tool, Soundgarden, Monster Magnet and STP. Throw those into a blender with the previously mentioned three and hit "pulse," not "liquefy," so you get served up big chunks of each, not a smooth brew of it all together. The final track is a thirteen-minute rock masterpiece.
My final notation on this record was, "this is pretty gotdamn impressive!"
