All killer, no filler. Hazy, filthy desert riffs comin' at you non-stop. As good as anything in this genre.

So. This is a post-Kyuss Garcia project, and it was recorded at Rancho de Luna: you'd be right to expect stoner rock. Even though the sonic aesthetic at work here clearly reminds of Kyuss, the most common points are the guitar tone and Garcia's vocal timbre, although his voice is much more aggressive than on Kyuss' - and it's not for the best tbh. What makes this four track EP stand out in the Garcia Stoner Universe is how punky and direct it is, uppercuting the listener's jaws as it deploys its "in yo face" riffs. However, the layers and complexity that made Kyuss' success aren't present here, the rhythm being a tad too monolithic to my taste. Of course it's "to each his own", but I have realized the stoner that makes me v i b e the most is one of psychedelic, hypnotic layers swiftly coming together in a cosmic ride that Moebius would have been the only one to properly visually depict. Yet, it's stoner, so I still vibe. It's funny how everyone has got a few genres that will always deliver, no matter the creativity or technicality at work. I love the doobies.

A fantastic albeit short EP. Every track hits hard, but the last two are especially impressive. Probably the best thing Garcia has done post-Kyuss

A short but hard hitting EP that continously kicks your balls from the moment the drums enter 'The
Prizefighter' till the heavy as f*** outro riff in 'July'

Great riffs, but definitely one of Garcia's weaker vocal performances.
