The new, 18th album of the Norwegian Prog- and Psycherock and Alternative Rock-instance is a double album. The collaboration with the new drummer Tomas Järmyr was extremely productive, as the band recently reported on their website. Since 2007 active predecessor drummer Kenneth Kapstad, who had decisively influenced the charismatic-progressive sound of MP, is currently concentrating exclusively on Spidergawd. The album was recorded in March 2017 with Noah Shain (including Skrillex, As tall as Lions, Dead Sara) and Dave Raphael (including Brant Bjork) in Los Angeles. After just one week Los Angeles, in the Motorpsycho mainly ?? brutal stuff ?? , The trio went to the legendary Rancho de la Luna studio for Joshua Tree for a couple of days, where the legendary Desert Sessions on laid-back material? worked. For the chants and finalizing the record, they flew to L.A. and returned to Norway for the final touchdown. * Stickman

There are few labels with taste as blindly reliable as Stickman Records, who in the past have aligned themselves with the likes of Motorpsycho, Elder and Spidergawd, so when I say that Copenhagen’s Papir will make a good fit for the roster, take it as a sign of respect for the quality of the instrumental trio’s output. Their last record, IIII, came out in 2014 on El Paraiso Records — the imprint helmed by members of Causa Sui; no minor shakes as regards taste either — and since then the band has collaborated with Electric Moon and Øresund Space Collective, so it’s fair to note that their track record of keeping good company continues unabated. Veterans of Roadburn, Freak Valley, Desertfest and many others, Papir will release a new album — which either will or will not be titled IIIII — in early 2017 through Stickman Records. It took me a while to catch onto these guys, but I’ve been glad I did ever since, and the sense of forward thinking jamming and progressive sensibility they bring to their sonic textures is second to none. Whatever they call it, I’m looking forward to hearing the next stage of their ongoing development Record Label: Stickman Records Style: Prog Rock

Band members and friends Nick DiSalvo, Jack Donovan and Matt Coutoalready dismissed any last remains of stoner metal stereotypes on Lore (2015). Their current album, which was written following the long and acclaimed Lore tour in moments of intense creativity, is a journey into prog rock and psychedelic worlds. Six monumental songs, huge in sound, each of them their own cosmic expedition. What begins as driving mid-tempo rock filled with heavy guitar riffs repeatedly erupts into melodic tangents and clever variations. The high demands that DiSalvo places on his own songwriting seem to become more unfettered from minute to minute – as does the pleasure of listening to him. Guest musicians Michael Samos and Mike Risberg have added additional guitars, pedal steel and keyboards to the trio, making Elder’s sound more voluminous than ever, and the influences found here range from 70s prog dinosaurs such as Yes, King Crimson or Pink Floyd to their kindred spirits Motorpsycho or legendary 90’s band, the God Machine. And it is of course a cliché, but Elder bring their own organism to life from all these influences. Elder already strike out on their chosen path on the album opener “Sanctuary”. What begins as a trademark stoner song turns on its own axis several times at minute four, morphing into lyrical polyphonic pickings and using a Mellotron to sweet-talk its way to an unfathomable and brutal finale. “The Falling Veil” moves between Thin Lizzy with palpitations and Motorpsycho (era “Heavy Metal Fruit”). Those who think of Kyuss during “Staving off Truth” won’t be able to hold that thought the entire 11 minutes of the song. And as hymn-like as the riffs can be, the band never settles down to one part for longer than two minutes. But at the same time, the songs never lose their coherence, because all parts are logically woven into one another. And it could be that “Sonntag”, a detour into the Krautrock motor functions of Neu!, most clearly shows the limitless cosmic ambitions of Elder. This album is of epic proportions and fans of the likes of Russian Circles, Ocean Size, 65 Days of Static, Kyuss, the aforementioned Motorpsycho and The God Machine will find much to love here.

The Devil and the Almighty Blues blew us away with their debut album a few years ago; their second offering, simply titled “II”, is another helping of the melodic, heavy blues we loved so much from the first but with a clear maturation in songwriting. These ain’t your grandma’s blues songs – long, raw and dark, this is blues with a doom aesthetic. Highly recommended! Snag your copy on presale in the webstore now. The album drops on March 17th via Blues for the Red Sun Records. And keep your eyes open for their European tour this spring, including Roadburn! Record Label: Stickman Records Style: Hard Rock

Alabama Kids were the Netherlands' answer to Dinosaur Jr, and then some - a guitar driven, melancholic and melodic heavy rock band with a penchant for some psychedelic digressions. Drowsy Driver - their third, and final record -was their magnum opus and a time capsule of an age when alternative rock still meant rock!! Members of Alabama Kids went on to perform in 7Zuma7 and 35007.. Twenty three years after its first release, Stickman is excited to present Drowsy Driver, remastered on 180gm red vinyl with a CD version included. Turn on, tune down, and drop out!!!
