Blue Heron "Everything Fades" LP

• Blue Heron's sun-scorched desert riff-heaviness - low-tuned roil and amplifier hum churning out swerving grooves between meditative atmospherics and sledgehammer lunges.
• For fans of: Kyuss, Clutch, Monster Magnet, Valley of the Sun, Greenleaf

BLUE HERON expand on their unyielding desert sound with a new slab of propulsive, sun-scorched riff-heaviness. "Everything Fades" finds the band reveling in low-tuned roil and amplifier hum, churning out swerving grooves as if the primordial spirit of the desert itself compels them.

Balanced between laid-back, meditative atmospherics and heavier, more aggressive lunges, BLUE HERON's cruising jams and gritty stoner romps call to mind echoes of Kyuss, Clutch and Monster Magnet, as well as modern contemporaries Valley of the Sun and Greenleaf. Full of rhythmic intensity, sledgehammer riffing and vocals ranging from clean and moody to howling and raw, "Everything Fades" covers a wide expanse of musical ground that shows how familiar influences can always be molded into inventive, exciting new forms.
