Tumbleweed – Sounds From The Other Side 2xLP Vinyl Record (Red & Black Swirl Coloured Vinyl)

In the 13 years since their previous release, “Mumbo Jumbo”, a lot changed. However, Tumbleweed did not, and that’s the best news in the world for their legion of followers. The pioneers of psychedelic retro stoner rock have returned as if the 1990s ended just yesterday. ‘Mandlebrot’ gets the party started with a fuzz-drenched rocking vibe and it’s straight back to a time when this band was cranking out at parties and pubs wherever one went.

Their 2013 release, “Sounds From the Other Side” isn’t the Weed trying to reinvent themselves for a new generation. There’s absolutely nothing about their sound, style or delivery that they haven’t done before, but that’s exactly how it should be. The beats are simple, the guitars fuzzed out to the max, Richie Lewis’ vocals an almost lazy, melodic monotone and the hooks are huge and everywhere. “Like a Night Owl” is a swaggering garage punk outing, “Drop in the Ocean” has a 70s glam rock feel and “Mountain” is a huge seven-minute freak-out that extends the band’s references to latter-day rock beasts like Queens of the Stone Age. The album is just pure rock n’ roll from beginning to end.
