musicluvr It's almost impossible to have a favorite for this one. I stumbled across their Freak Valley performance on YouTube and had to buy the album immediately. This is probably the best new band in a long time for me. Favorite track: Black Days.

elperro2022 That's the question... After an evening with this band, I can't help but be a crazy fan. You don't even need ears for this. This music will eat you whole. Favorite track: Sitar Song.

*w/ @lucidvoidband

EL PERRO is a brand new band led by guitarist/vocalist/songwriter/producer Parker Griggs of RADIO MOSCOW. The sound contains elements that fans of Radio Moscow will recognize, but this is rock music with a new, fresh spin and feel. The band’s debut album, “Hair Of El Perro”, takes heavy psychedelic rock as a starting point but jams into more syncopated territory, spicing its sound with Latin rhythms and hints of Funkadelic-style grooves. You could say that EL PERRO plays psychedelic funk rock, and you wouldn’t be wrong.

Coming towards the end of the nine-song journey, is possibly one of the best Blues-riffed Stoner Rock explosions in the history of modern rock—quite literally. Griggs’ lead guitar is in absolute rare form and exemplifies some of the best playing I have ever heard from him—ever. – TONE Scott / GOLDMINE

With apologies to Jon Spencer, this band should be called Parker Griggs Blues Explosion as the singer/guitarist delivers brimstone-and-fire, heavy psychedelic blues rock with spit and swagger. – THE BIG TAKEOVER

The heady combination of psych-rock, funk, Latin rock, and soul come together in one blistering wave of shredding. Indeed, this may be a new direction for the Radio Moscow musician, but it is still 100% cranked guitar rock at the core. – GLIDE MAGAZINE

Hair Of… is a burner that stands out for engaging with funk as it does and winding up neither in a mire of cultural appropriation nor a retread of past ideas. It sounds fresh, and so it is. And one imagines that, taken to the stage, these songs are all the more powerful, swinging and swaggering. – THE OBELISK

Volume knobs, rattletrap drums and then pure supersonic venom all figure in Black Days, the delicious twelve-minute epic that winds up the record: the dip to a squiggly bass-and-drums interlude sets up a memorable duel on the way out. – NEW YORK MUSIC DAILY

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor

Very dark and melancholic and also a progressive album. Beat and atmosphere remind me strongly of TOOL. Stephan

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst
