You want to go out into the desert and party? Yeah? Cool. Cuz so does Fu Manchu. I have a weird soft spot for these guys and every time they put out a new album is a good day in my world. I think these guys are so much better than their more well known stoner desert rock brethren, Kyuss. Their fuzzy guitar sound is just so warm and inviting that you can’t help buy want to snuggle up to a nice fire and just let the waves of stoner rock wash over you. Nothing too complicated on here but catchy riffs for days.
