Synopsis

Product Description

From beginning to end, this is an absolutely beautiful collection of songs. No it's not of the usual stoner rock flair, but beyond that and still at times in the same vein. These aren't songs that seem to be bred from heavy distorted rock, but from something older and at times from a place beyond rock. This CD is essential to anyone who loves the bands that are talked and written about on this site because it fuels the argument that the people who visit here can't be pigeon-holed. This is a great CD, a beautiful CD, and a must for any collection. - JolieHolly, StonerRock.com

CD Reviews

Great Feel-Good Summer Album

Tom Chase | London | 05/29/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the second outing from Orquesta del Desierto, a collection of minds from various renowned stoner bands, such as guitarist Dandy Brown (Hermano) and vocalist Pete Stahl (Earthlings?). The bands debut was a fun summer album, fusing desert rock, blues and salsa into an accessible acoustic balance. And 'Dos' really is more of the same, just slightly more cohesive this time round.

The album is very consistent and easily listened to from start to finish. From the trumpet salsa styled opener 'Life Without Colour' to the closing ballad 'Sleeping the Dream', the album sweeps past you in a warm summers breeze.

Other highlight tracks include 'Summer', a lovely relaxing track with subtle shakers and piano twinkling. 'Above the Big Wide' is probably the closest to straight forward rock the band get, and it is certainly a highlight on the album with its sing-along chorus and sumptuous acoustic guitar harmonies. If thoughts of deserts and summer breezes don't enter your mind when 'Someday' plays, then you must live in Siberia. Somewhat trippy vocal melodies complemented by acoustic harmonies. Just great fun to kick back to with a cold one.

If you enjoy desert rock, stoner rock, whatever label you want to stick on it, and want to explore something a bit different, then this is certainly a worthy addition to your collection. Simply a thoroughly relaxing, feel-good summer album.

For fans of desert rockers such as Unida, Hermano, Lowrider and of course Kyuss."
