It’s been over a year since The Stoner released The New Pink. That’s a good chunk of time on the internet where everything is so rapid/vapid.
But I’d like to slow things down with these songs from The Stoner.
The Stoner is a jazz group from Stockholm and not a heavy handed psychedelic group of, well, stoners. If I’m not mistaken I hear shades of Pink Panther in that first song below and perhaps that explains the title of the record. It’s like they took that noir jazz from the film and ran it through a blender adding odd time signatures, strange percussion and an out of tune organ. It’s a pretty marvelous effect, if you ask me. Back to regularly scheduled programming tomorrow.
