The Kyuss legend and founder of desert rock institutions such as Unida, Slo-Burn, Hermano and Vista Chino returns with his next incarnation, John Garcia And The Band Of Gold. After two solo albums, this one is an almost traditional family affair. None other than Chris Goss (who produced Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age) gave the self-titled album its finishing touches and provided that gritty, unmistakable coating. The rather relaxed “Space Vato” starts off a desertfest second to none that melts down a whole subgenre to its core with groovers like “My Everything,” “Cheyletiella” and “Popcorn (Hit Me When You Can).”
