Fuzz/psych rock heaviness that remains fairly consistent all entire trip for 46+ minutes. Trippy vocals and really loud, often doom guitars. Imagine if you took all the riffy bits of early Sabbath, Hendrix, The Heads and Bardo Pond and let the bass rhythm ride on same wavelength. A perfect sunny weather album.
((((1))))) Awashed in wah pedals, a nice low end and lots of warm distortion.
((((((2)))))) Uppity & rockin’ with weird nasly slightly distant vocals eventunally slows down into a vast haze of multiple wah pedals a playin’.
((((3)))) Slow & woozy not unlike Bardo Pond’s more bluesy numbers but with a hint of psych & pop.
((((4))))) Nice Hendrix-like riff that shifts from a “obscure psych band from the 60’s” to contemporary space out jam vibe.
((((5))))) Pretty sounding cleaning guitar with more wah and a general drift. Would go really well with Across Tundras.
(((((6))))) Foggy, thick cloud of paisley sonic haze. Really nice and filled with “druggy wizard” vocals.
((((7))))) Acoustic folk ‘ala Neil Young.
(((((8))))) NOT a John Denver cover. Instead this rather heavy doomed out psych with more “washed out” vocals.
((((9)))) Short & loose instrumental jam with the guitar set on the clean channel. Rather good.
