Grails – Acid Rain

Ok, before you take a listen, make sure you have some time to spare since this is an 8 minute song and will require full use of your laying back capabilities. These guys fall under my space rock genre for very apparent reasons.  Their album, Doomsdayer’s Holiday, is one the most musically ambitious projects I’ve [...]
