Gaia and Slow Joint are two Copenhagen trios that have
played a lot of gigs together in the underground doom-sludge scene. This time
the band joined together to make a split LP. Side A starts off with two long
tracks by Gaia (some of the members also play in Måneskjold). Gaia starts
things off with the stoner doom monster Wound Gravity (10mins). Slow, constant stoned doom with some vocals
pushed to the back. Some of them are almost like throat singing and very drony.
Cool. There’s Nothing Left, another long
one starts with a more melodic guitar and a slow build. The heavy doomy stuff
does not start to creep in for several minutes. Stoned…… Flip the sucker over
for some Slow Joint. Beverage Joe starts with some feedback and bass before the
track really kicks off and reminds me a bit of Weedeater. A more in your face vocal and stoner-doom
like a slower Church of Misery. Low and
Slow is a bit more angry and with a cool guitar riff. Politicks is very angry
with another heavy doomy riff. No solos from either band on these
releases. Check em out and play it
really LOUD.
