There has always been something kind of
charming to me about Stoned Jesus. I think there ability to laugh at
themselves and craft some pretty straightforward tracks that have a
crushing might behind them has always captured my imagination. The
fact of the matter is that Stoned Jesus are the kind of dudes who are
willing to start off a record with a cry of “Jesus Christ” before
breaking into one monster riff after another in a rather silly song
called Here Come The Robots. The fact of the matter is that it's fun
to listen to a band who are clearly having a good time.
The punishing grooves that Stoned Jesus
unleash in these tracks are stunning and it speaks to how much
they've grown as musicians. Adding to this is the albums fifteen minute plus closer, the epic Black Church. It shows how these badass
rock and rollers have been able to learn to communicate powerful
emotions and deep vibes in their hard hitting sound. You feel
yourself getting lost in the approach of a band who are surprisingly
tight given the raunchiness their music can have. What I'm trying to
say is that Stoned Jesus are clearly top notch musicians and the
deeper you delve into The Harvest
the harder this becomes to deny.
With
immaculately crafted tracks and punchy vocals Stoned Jesus have
reached a new peak in their pot scented triumph on The
Harvest. We hear them bringing
their songwriting to a whole new level and leaving the listener in
awe, forced to spin the record again and again to truly pick apart
the truths that Stoned Jesus eschew beneath their layers of hash. The
cream of the crop in a very crowded scene Stoned Jesus seem poised to
take their peers by storm on this next touring cycle. Stoned Jesus
are the best of the best and they are coming to baptize you in bud.
