BLACK SMOKE DRAGON - Earth Have Jaiah

Found this, once again, on the indispensable MrStoneBeliever channel on youtube. Black Smoke Dragon apparently have been around for awhile, but this is the first I've come across them. Heavy instrumental stoner jams loaded with film clips and an intro by Bill Hicks. Obviously, these cats have good taste! The songs aren't crazy short, but when you compare the track length to the bands they're in the mold of, they are down right mini. Imagine, if you will, Belzebong jamming as if they have a plane to catch, Bongripper quartered into more easily digestible pieces. Black Smoke Dragon makes other musical references as well, paraphrasing surfer riffs and fuzzing them out in one instance, more southern stuff and an healthy acknowledgment of horror film scores. This is good shit, I can tell already it'll be on constant rotation for months to come. It's also available as a PAY-WHAT-YOU-WANT download.
