Consistently good mix of heavy rock, psych-folk with big instrumental passages and hazy vocals. Goes great for a road trip through the Rockies or reading some dark western noir. Play with Dinosaur Jr., Neurosis, Explosions in the Sky or Pelican.

((((1)))) Lots of nice structural changes and totally distorted yet melodic (!) vocals.
((((2)))) Slow to mid-paced with plenty of nice guitar parts.
(((3))) Bright, hazy like a stoned hike through Mt. Diablo. Lots of good riffs, murky vocals.
((((4)))) Woosy, slow psych-country-folk with trippy male & female vocals.
(((5))) Twangy, loud but loud & builds to a nice structure w/riffy breakdowns.
(((((6))))) PERFECT sound! Tremendous, vast guitar sound. Makes you feel warm inside.
((((7)))) Winding, cyclical riffs with more than a few outward motions.
((((8)))) Strummy, minimal, psych-folk blend. Sounds like it’s under the influence stimulants but you could get high off just this one song.
