Gravity X

It has been quite awhile since a stoner rock band made such an impact on me as the oddly named Truck fighters from Sweden. These guys play stoner rock right, with fuzz galore and spaced out textures and trippy atmospheres that can only be fully appreciated upon a non-stop voyage through the outer limits of Gravity X. You've gotta really sit back and tune out when you listen to this stuff, as only then will you really get sucked in for the ride. From the catchy, Kyuss-flavored opener "Desert Cruiser" to the moody, absurdly melodic trippiness of "Momentum" to the QOTSA-like rolling barrage of "Freewheelin" to album hilite "Manhattan Project" with it's superb hooks and melodies (another distant ode to QOTSA in a way) and catchy guitar lead Truck fighters is an instant stoner rock classic.
