A couple days ago, Stereogum premiered the first single off Wooden Shjips' forthcoming LP, West. While "Lazy Bones" is a chugging psychedelic anthem that could make Jim Morrison blush, I've got a little premier of my own...
"Black Smoke Rise" is West's opening track. With muddy distortion thick as peanut butter, the desert dirge dutifully sets the stage for the album's overarching themes of "the American West and all of the mythology, romanticism, and idealism that it embodies." So in other words, the perfect soundtrack for Captain America, Billy and George.
