My old band played a bunch of shows with these guys, at home and in the Bay, where they were from, and by the last time I saw them, I was convinced that they were the best band I'd ever shared a stage with. They were just so locked in and focused, and played this awesome, low-key fusion of psych rock, folk, and blues, and I was convinced that when their second record (this one) finally dropped, they'd get super-hyped and everyone would be down with Dame Satan. Instead, there was little to no fanfare, and they broke up shortly thereafter. So I guess it's on me to make sure people hear this beautiful (aside from "The Struggle", which I think is total butt) little record.

1. Downstream

3. Suffering Daughter
4. The Struggle
5. Country Thief
6. Dawn and Delta

this is a special album, should be shouted out.
ReplyDeletetoo bad for the group's name, probably nixed their career
Holy shit this is fantastic. Also, I like The Struggle a lot. Kinda reminds me of Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, which is probably in my top ten favorite Zeppelin tracks, so idk what's wrong with you.
ReplyDeleteI guess this is also a good time to thank you so much for running this blog. I've been following for a couple months and most of my listening within that period has consisted of albums from here. You've turned me on to a ton of great shit. Definitely one of the finest damn blogs I've come across. Keep doing what you're doing.
Thank you much. Adding this to the rotation immediately.
