Midnite Snake
Instrumental stoner rock is a rare breed indeed -- really, only
Karma To Burn
might have fit that description in their day, and this Pittsburgh trio
sounds very little like that band.
No,
Midnite Snake is a raw, grungy, garage-y, stoner/acid rock fest,
with
a cool fuzzed-out guitar tone and generally drawn-out song structures.
Some of the tunes are a bit repetitive, as these guys are going more
for the groove rather than implementing complex riffs.
The album could use a better production, as the drums are a bit tinny --
maybe with a bigger budget the band can expand on their style.
The best audience for this kind of stuff is the stoner rock crowd, even
though this is clearly not another
Kyuss
or
Fu Manchu
clone.
A fine first effort.
