The album
cover making the cover of today’s bonanza takes you to another place.
Personally I love the high desert landscape as it puts me at ease. We have a
variety of styles featured today all of which also put me at ease in a way that
only music can.
BJ Wilbanks – BJ Wilbanks
BJ Wilbanks
was recommended by a friend on facebook and I ate it right up. Ordered the
vinyl after a few full listens as it just has that sound that yearns for
crooning away on the turntable.
Soulful,
countrified southern blues screaming total class while gently tugging the
heartstrings of authentic Americana
meets rock n roll. Fans of Chris Stapleton take note.
The Teskey Brothers – Half Mile Harvest
I was sold
right off the bat with these guys. I would normally have ordered the vinyl,
however I’m sort of on a new budget trying to get my finances organized and
really pushing myself to hold back on the vinyl buys. But even though it’s
quite pricey to import from Australia,
it is well worth it. Right off the bat you get a bit of an Allman
Brothers blues vibe, but with perhaps a bit more soul injected. I played all
the albums from The Teskey Brothers repeatedly the other day upon discovery.
You should too.
Caves of Utah
– Caves of Utah
Caves of Utah is a project by a
somewhat prolific artist it turns out after diving in further to the band.
This
Billy Fridrich dude is quite prolific. Just as his other project Axis/Orbit
piqued our attention with its garage/psych/rock amalgamation, Caves of Utah blister the sunset
with a rather melodic approach. The cave walls are etched with metallic solos,
sun stained vocal croons, and tinted with a film of grunge as the diversity
between each song carries its tone into the desert horizon.
Slingshot – A Period of Reflection
This popped
up on my bandcamp feed the other day and seemed worth checking out. Boy was I
glad I did. Being released in 2013 normally has me scratching my head wondering
how I haven’t heard of them yet, and offered at name your price the band was
off to a great start. Fast forward to multiple listens from the 2 full lengths
offered up and my mind was completely blown. Be sure to listen to their latest
one as well. Top quality stuff guys!
Slingshot
rear back the whip and let loose a progressive cannon of heavy groove propelled
by quality song craft, soaring riffs and a golden vocal rasp. This ain't your
everyday stoner rock folks. This is something special. Mindblower alert!!
Void Commander – Shrooming Window
Shrooming
Window is an interesting concept and a killer piece of music at that. The
tracks are massive on this baby. It starts out extremely fuzzy with an occult
like doom vocal, high on low end and as the album progresses the psychedelic
elements begin to peak just as coming into a trip off a bag of shrooms. This is
still hovering in my wishlist at the current time, again budgeting is a bitch,
but you should give this your full attention. It really gets better the deeper
and deeper into the trip
Hope you
enjoyed this edition of Buckys Bandcamp
Bonanza and see you in another week.
