Tokechedelic

Great stoner/psychedelic rock. Found here are their first and latest full-length albums. Get (s)toked for the release of Old Growth which should be coming out on Matador Records in January 2008. If you're into this kind of music or realize that you like these albums (or most of the others that I post, for that matter) you should check out this short documentary - Such Hawks, Such Hounds. It features a ton of great bands that are in the same vein as Dead Meadow.



Dead Meadow - Dead Meadow (Tolotta/Planaria; 2000)


Dead Meadow - Feathers (Matador; 2005)

The Three EPs

So, I have been sitting here trying to come up with some ingeniously cleaver way to tie these three records together and make this post into a cohesive piece. After typing and deleting several different ideas (most of which revolving around The Beta Band) I realized that all of these bands are far too simple to be explained and that's exactly what I enjoy so much about them. Minimalistic simplicity. Therefore, I've decided to let these records and these videos and their music do all the talking.



Russian Circles - Upper Ninety (Suicide Squeeze; 2006)



Saviours - Warship (Level Plane; 2005)



Jesu - Lifeline EP (Hydra Head; 2007)
