Using fuzzed out slow motion riffs, Jointhugger finish their
assault on 2021 with a treacle thick sound that swirls into
the atmosphere with feedback, sound effects and tunes that
were birthed in a swamp somewhere. With a lot of the songs clocking in
at just over 9 minutes, Jointhugger use the track lengths
to fully explore
the dark/seedier side of 60's/70's psych with
lashing of stoner rock
that are laid upon a doom foundation and served up with extra
creepiness.
This experience is not about being cowered into submission with
aggression or decibels but is more concerned with tones, colour,
a human touch or emotions. Vocals are a prayer that are offered
up in the vain chance that the dread and despair in life are eased
but from the wails and croons, you can know there will be no
help offered.
Fuzz drenches everything with it's sonic embrace, making these
distorted jams epic anthems which are dedicated to the higher
beings who dwell in the Church of Riffs.
These voodoo sex mantras have huge outbursts of slow, thick-
toned solos running through them with hex like properties making it
impossible not to nod out to them.
Take a dark, slow, sleazy trip into the minds of Jointhugger -
but beware - this cult will be very hard to escape from - and
would you want to?
