Mars Red Sky

Thanks to John N, I have recieved another batch of some excellent desert/stoner/psych from France, this
time in the person of Mars Red Sky... I was somewhat familiar with them, but ever so much now with this batch of stuff!

First up is a bunch of various singles/EP tracks, all worth a listen.... they appear at the end of the links, one of particular notice is a split single with Year of No Light...

Their Self-titled debut was issued in 2011, it's a find blend of fuzz, riffing and vocals which might remind one of Tame Impala.

The 2014 issue, "Stranded in Arcadia" is a fine piece of way-out desert-surf music, they turn up the fuzz quite a bit, check the mind melting opener, "The Light Beyond"......this is one of those "future classics" of stoner rock that I refer to at times, you'll want to hear this one.

Finally, their new release," Apex III: Praise From the Burning Sky" has a more melodic, progressive sound, as the band continues to develop and grow. This one is a winner too, in particular the title track
