The Pitch: The Swan is the final, 6 track, tape mastered EP, released by stoner doom/rock group, Ruff Majik. "The band faced the pale horse and his rider, watching them closely, and decided to defiantly tell them to f#$k off." FFO Black Sabbath, Monolord, Red Fang
What I Like: This is just another 60's/70's psychodelic good time. The perfect compliment to blacklight-painted walls and a room full of smoke. There are plenty of groovy hooks and walls of Sabbathy distortion to get down to. I find myself wanting to use out-dated expressions like "jive-turkey" and "way out." The production is best described in the words of the band: "live and raw and balls to the wall." As I believe I stated of The Fox, it feels like these guys are playing a show in my living room.
What I Don't Like: The vocals could be a little stronger. Anyone else getting a little bit of a Jack White vibe?
The Verdict: "Find the biggest speakers you can and blow out your windows, hell, blow out your neighbors windows too."
Flight's Fav's: Cloak Full Of Serpents, Honey In A Lion Corpse, Monarch of the Hills
