Words By Anselm Anderson
The trio consists of Kyuss founders- vocalist/guitarist Brant Bjork and bassist Nick Olivieri are joined by drummer Ryan Gut. The seven-track EP was produced by Yosef Sanborn at The Red Cabin in Joshua Tree, CA in October 2020.
The album combines a groovy guitar sound with punk and blues sensibilities. The album has a slow start that gradually descends into desert rock madness.
The opener "Rad Stays Rad" sees Bjork's refined vocals glide over distorted groove-oriented riffs as the mid-tempo takes the listener away. Next up is the more uptempo "The Older Kids" sees the band share their wisdom over Gut's rhythmic drumming skills. The stripped-back "Own Yer Blues" is the perfect blues song that stirs up those old Mississippi tales. "Evel Never Dies" is a heavy punk blaster, as the album finishes with the hypnotic "Tribe/Fly Girl" Overall, Stoner shows the genre does indeed still rule. Bjork and Olivieri recreate that same chemistry they have shared throughout their career with a depth of laid-back tracks with killer riffs that will certainly help relax during these hot summers.
