Blasting Rod
Mojave Green
"'Mojave Green' follows 2022's 'Of Wild Hazel' with suitably desert-hued vibing, its almost-10-minute title-track veering between loose, hypnotic jamming and fuzzier, riffier push, as opener 'YEA 24M (Cosmic Bash)' resolves with Sabbathian groove before the cymbal-wash finish, 'Bowl Of Shala' brings a more meditative aspect and 'Grandon The Stone Cutter (OG Version)' closes with a funky groove led by the guitar that feels specifically in conversation with Brant Bjork. Blasting Rod dig further into experimental noisemaking in the extended 'Yao Tsu (Infinity Landing)' and are not so single-minded and are more immersive than such a supposition might imply. Perhaps homage in the sense of taking past ideas and reshaping them to suit their own exploratory purposes." ~JJ Koczan, The Obelisk.
