King Ropes (Bozeman)

Ramshackle Psychedelic Americana Noise Pop

Super Natural is at once King Ropes’ most ambitious and intimate anlbum, expanding the parameters of the band’s desert rock and ragged americana sound. It is buoyed by a directness that brings out Dave Hollier’s most stirring songwriting to date. Hollier has a gift for writing about tragedy and pain with wry humor and conversational bluntness. Long-simmering family trauma, visions of animal reincarnation, mysterious respiratory ailments—all are worthy songwriting prompts as the record vacillates from the pounding rhythms of “Hello Sun” and thick, stoner-rock roar of “Drunk Donny” to the tenderness of “Sure,” a sorrowful, synth-driven ode to regret, and the quietly stunning, disarmingly plainspoken “Breathing”.

Los Toms (Fort Collins)

Psychedelic Desert Fuzz

Oscillating between surreal psychedelia and heavy psychrock, Los Toms delivers driving, riff-drenched performances that will have you swinging from the rafters. The band takes inspiration from modern psychedelic rock outfits like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Weeed, and Kikagaku Moyo, as well as from progenitors like Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd.

Gooch Slam (Bozeman)

DIY experimental surf that will leave you with third degree whiplash
