Space psych rock. For fans of Acid Mothers Temple, Bardo Pond, Hawkwind, Chrome, Loop, Comets on Fire, Alasehir, Pontiak, Beak, Wooden Shjips. Thousands of layers of overdriven distorted guitars piled on heavy, loose, stoner grooves, space synths, trippyness. 72 minutes of effects pedals, excess, delay, and bongs flying all over the place. Gears has to love this shit. Better than KFJC. No FCCs.

*1. Krauty groove, overdriven spaced guitars, excessive wanky guitar solos that are just fucking great. (6:38)
*2. Trippy, strange free guitar chords with massive delay, whoa, really cool instrumental. (2:45)
3. Crawling blazed groove built off of rhythmic delayed guitar effects, cosmic space effects, and stoner rhythm section. (10:40)
*4. Programmed, hypnotic kraut feel. Wooden Shjips. Fuzzy guitar box manipulation and single tone bass for 12 and a half blissed out minutes. (12:38)
5. More reeled in song structure, heavy fuzzed hook, shouty, loud, swaggery, stonery. (5:12)
6. Ambient, dreamy sustained tones. (4:10)
*7. Trippy noisy ambient collagy feel of effects, loops, distortion. Just wonderful. (6:03)
8. Tribal banging percussion comes in behind bendy, sustained space guitars, bubbly electronicy effects and lead strangeness. (6:29)
9. Lame-ish lyrics, loud fuzzy pysch rock with hooks, slows down, gets druggy, trippy and spacey. (17:12)
