#2019 Los Dug Dug's - Smog

Best band I've discovered so far this year, hands down. Their second album's packed with blasted production, wildly original songwriting, half a dozen jaw-dropping blownout guitar moments, and a pivot to Spanish singing that sounds so right.

Raging riffs, sparse accoustic breakdowns, flaming flutes, infernal drums, patches of prog in the dead-dirt garagey stomp - and man, that gigantic, unstoppable 3rd track's a classic.

LDD were fearless and exciting and unlike any garage rock band of the era. Essential 4.5/5
