Brightblack - Ala.Cali.Tucky (2003)

Previously on OPIUM HUM:
Brightblack Morning Light - Motion to Rejoin (2008)

Languid, smoked-out country rock that's as fitting for late nights as it is for Sunday morning comedowns. Country slowcore, if you will. If you're familiar with the two records they put out after adding "Morning Light" to the end of their name: it's kinda like that, except with more acoustic slide guitar, pedal steel, and two Oldham brothers (yes, one of them's Will) in tow.

Track listing:

1. New Mexico

2. True Bright Blossom

3. Own Time

4. Better Days

5. Old Letters

6. Wildshiney Stars

7. Red

8. Ocean Blue

The silver rain down

Brightblack Morning Light - Motion to Rejoin (2008)

Frontrunners in the Most Stoned-Sounding Band in the World competition. Rhodes piano, horns, slide guitar, heavy-lidded R&B-style backing vocals, and a lead vocalist who sounds dangerously close to passing out behind the mic. The perfect accompaniment for oppressive heat and mind-expanding drugs.

Track listing:
1. Introduction
2. Hologram Buffalo
3. Gathered Years
4. Oppressions Each
5. Another Reclamation
6. A Rainbow Aims
7. Summer Hoof
8. Past a Weatherbeaten Fencepost
9. When Beads Spell Power Leaf

Nobody needs oppression
