Sleeping Villager A fuzzed-out, strung-out, and high-octane homage to yer favorite desert rock band, with just enough AiC-esque angst to keep things feeling appropriately somber and gritty. looking forward to more from this crew! Favorite track: The Drought is Coming.

Rob Hammer great EP with some clear Alice In Chains worship on the 2nd track 😊

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Three tracks of raucous and raw Chilean stoner riffage, these guys are not trying to re-invent the wheel here just laying down some honest riff'n'roll.
Favorite track: The Drought is Coming.

Please stop dragging me in your noise, I’m so tired and stoned Exhausting sanity, empty me You bark, you bite and scratch, please give me a break All my time stuck in your crap, which I thought was mine Hey! Hey! Leave me here with my fears, I think I can't run away Let me feel safe in my drown Hide me from the rest, hide me from stress They’ll never find me out with you Justification through injustice Becomes mantra, every day at 7 A.M At least give me a couple of options Makeup for pessimism or let me sleep a little more Hey! Hey! Leave me here with my fears, I think I can't run away Let me feel safe in my hole Hide me from the rest, I don't want this quest Hey! Hey! Leave me here with my fears, I think I can’t run away Let me feel safe in my hole Hide me from the rest, hide me from stress They’ll never find me out with you

Green turns gray and fields cry Famine rumors were the true As much our ancestors walked Our parents decided to throw it all away Chorus: The drought is coming We must resist until the sun shows mercy The drought is coming Hope is the water, we must change Don't waste tears, we need that water Over the years I learn the meaning All gods have forsaken us They give us this right solitude Chorus x2 Chorus: The drought is coming The drought is coming! The drought is coming Hope is the water, we must change The drought is coming We must resist until the sun shows mercy The drought is coming Hope is the water, we must change

Fractured reality As insults and rage scattered on the floor We attack without think About what we feel Gestures of affection Become sand in our hands Your ego above all, You sharpen the words What exactly did you want to tell? What’s the great plan behind your answers? You built a confident face To hide that world nobody knows I met him through love, But I understood it with pain Chorus: Take charge! Of your own hurtful words Take charge! And destroys facts like bones Your fierce assaults bend my way Of seeing the truth And we distort our agreements In order to see who bleeds first Chorus x2
