Heavy Hands – “Smoke Signals” – [Language of Stone]

This is rocking psyche as opposed to the shoegaze psyche of Citay. This New York City trio of Ambassador Hazy on gutiar and vocals, Mystical Revelation on bass, and Cristal Voyager on drums are heavy-handed on the psyche aspect of things, but it works for them. The B side is stronger than the A, featuring unique openings. A3 and B5 start out slow but have cool change-ups in tempo that bump the songs up a notch. Every song has lyrics that are hard to make out but often sound like Jim Morrison. Picks: B8, B6, A5.
