Stonerror - Stonerror (2017)
It's been about a year since
Stonerror's debut EP, Rattlesnake Moan, but the Polish group has
finally returned with eight new tracks of fuzzed bass foundations,
groovy beat embellishments, snazzy guitar-work, and smoky vocals.
Star-eyed psych and headbanging rock come together with tasty
results, with some flavors like late-'90s alt rock providing an extra
dose of ear-hooks for the melodies. The album moves fast, swaying
and dipping through the down-beats and drifting warmth of the songs,
and while it doesn't have the stylish dark tones of the group's EP,
it's by no means a step down in quality.
Stonerror seem to have hashed out some
of their weirder tendencies in the assembly of these tunes, finding
something both more stylistically consistent and more upbeat, and
calling to mind the sort of cozy musical blanket that you can just
wrap yourself up in to while away an afternoon with a smile on your
face. At the same time, they bring plenty of energy to bear in the
songs, jamming in wild rock break-downs and tangled psych bridges,
playing with tempos and time signatures, and generally having what
sounds like a great time creating their music. One to blare through
your speakers whenever you need some pick-me-up vibes, Stonerror also
raise the question of whether their next release will be as much of a
switch-up in their song-writing approaches as this one was to their
last.
