Fostermother - The Ocean (Vinyl LP)

FOSTERMOTHER made an impression within the stoner doom scene with their self-titled debut album, which Everything Is Noise described as, "hitting both soft and hard in all the right places, leaving oddly-comforting destruction in its wake." Now a three-headed hydra with the addition of drummer Jason Motamedi alongside guitarist/singer Travis Weatherred and bassist Stephen Griffin, the band signed to Californian heavy rock powerhouse Ripple Music for the release of follow-up LP "The Ocean". This massive7-tracker cranks it up on all levels: it's darker, harsher, slower, fuzzier, more rumbling, and uncompromising in its ability to drag listeners into the darkest alleys of the human soul.
