Review:
The
album cover states “Sometimes Looking For Weed In Strange
Places Goes Horribly Wrong...” So Tumbleweed Dealer's 2nd
album is a concept album about looking for the perfect fix in Western
Times and the horrors that people face. Or something like that.
Welcome
to “Western Horror” the stunning new album from Canadian Psych
Stoner Rockers – Tumbleweed Dealer. Almost 14 months on since their
acclaimed début S/T album, the guys are back with a more mysterious
and creepy offering. Spread across 8 tracks and running for 47 mins.
Western Horror plays out like a creepy western movie soundtrack being
conducted by Earthless jamming with Ennio Morricone.
Tumbelweed
Dealer have taken the essence of a classic western and paired up it
with a doom and gloom psychedelic stoner rock vibe for one thrilling
ride into the unknown. Opening track – Bluntlust – starts with a
hazy jam based riff which seems quite familiar though still somehow
vaguely mysterious as the band guides the listener on this creepy
journey. The band toy with your senses here playing slow paced riffs
while adding different elements of noise with each passing second.
Though
don't go expecting an easy ride as Tumbleweed Dealer have managed to
create a set of songs that sound very different to each other. Second
track - Slow Walk Through A Ghost Town – is a post-rock driven
track that turns the atmosphere into a bleak desolate landscape with
psychedelic guitars slowly playing in the background before exploding
into a war of loud noises. It sees Tumbleweed Dealer experiment
firmly with their sound and it's played at a very slow pace. You can
slowly feel the Western Horror creeping up on you.
Tumbleweed
Dealer always come up with brilliant song titles. Can you remember
the song title – How To Light A Joint With A Blowtorch – from
their début album. Well the guys have excelled themselves here once
again. Just look at the other song titles which shows these guys have
a bleak sense of humour indeed. Though it's the music is where it
counts as Tumbleweed Dealer have written a truly haunting psychedelic
stoner rock album you won't here unlike anything else this year.
The
album flows beautifully from start to finish as the band play intense
riffs through out. Tracks such as - Riding Upon A Skeletal Steed and
...And The Horse You O.D – captures the band at their best as they
bring this album to life with intelligent riffs that make you think
of the intriguing story your actually apart of. The album becomes
darker towards the end as epic jam based riffs signals the start of
dangerous things to come.
Western
Horror is a thought-provoking ride told through the power of music.
Tumbleweed Dealer have created a truly wonderful album. Trust me you
don't WEED for this album as the music is powerful enough to get you
high for a lifetime.
Western
Horror is available to buy now from BandCamp. Thanks to the guys for
