Tony Maim’s – Personal Top 20

 

 

Tony Maim’s – Personal Top 20


We are now on the verge of posting all the Personal Top 20 lists of the Stoner HiVe Team Members. Some of which might not be too active on the site. But I’m still honored to call them part of Stoner HiVe. Take Madman Tony Maim for instance, like the rest of the team he’s involved with the Doom Charts, he’s got his own Black Insect Laughter blog, which he unfortunately has had little time for and of course all that music that’s pouring out of his brain. Guitars On Drugs, which released DubFuzz in 2022. Always diligent when it comes to punk and noise and sending his list for the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown. Well, it’s Madman Tony Maim; and he’s right, we’re wrong. And when the Madman speaks, we listen!

In preparation for the interview with Sean McVay of King Buffalo we dove deep into all the album King Buffalo delivered and turned even into a bigger Buffalo nut than before. This might now happen with The Cult as well… That interview is tomorrow and the new album Under The Midnight Sun is a continuation of the last two, with more marriages with those very first albums… One more hectic week ahead of us, we've got a few updates lying in await; but we hope to do some more HiVe work soon! Check'm out! Check'm all out!

CB3 – Exploration

 

 

CB3 – Exploration
Majestic Mountain Records – 2022
Rock, Psych, Space, Kraut, Jazz, Grunge
Rated: *****

CB3 is Charlotta’s Burning Trio and has been since their first self-titled release back in 2015. Charlotta’s Burning Trio has also always been that jazz rock jam band that used middle eastern motifs, psychedelic meanderings and cosmic outburst to paint their instrumental musical rainbows across the celestial dome. Their new release Exploration, indeed explores, a different approach. This time around, the music traverses through heavier territory, using the guitar to deliver as much riffs as jazzy freak outs. But when the guitar lets loose, it still flies as high as a kite on Mars. Heavier territory does not mean you suddenly get metal and doom, no, the shift is gradual and deliberate, and perhaps not as apparent in opener Daydreams. For it almost feels like it uses indie slacker grooves to slowly trudge through the universe, except of course during those sudden bursts of electrifying jazzy guitar bursts. Another shift that immediately reveals itself during the opening track, is the fact that they have moved from solely instrumental compositions to also making use of the very youthful, sweet, and syrupy voice of Charlotta, to deliver their galactic adventure. That extra element might well be key for this entire album, for even though her voice is used sparsely, you can easily see where the compositions deliberately left room for her honey voice to sweeten you up to the new CB3 sound. It almost feels like that sound wants to move into more grunge territory, but because of it’s laidback and jazzy atmosphere stays, moves and dances around in that earlier mentioned slacker terrain. Slacker does not mean anything negatory, just that more mellow, indie, cool laziness attitude to grunge. And if it wasn’t apparent in opening track Daydreams for, it sure is the key approach to following track To Space And Away, opening guitar riff, vocal hook, leaves nothing to the imagination, or in fact, everything to the imagination. You will surely close your eyes and nod off into a nineties universe. And sure, the freak out jam part in the middle will transfer you to another realm entirely, it still retains that cool swagger atmosphere and mellow attitude. But what it lifts it all To Space And Away is the fact that they use kraut, psych and space elements to turn their Exploration into a euphoria filled sparkling diamond of a release…

Survived Nirwana Tuinfeest, which was brilliant! Superb weather, except for a spot of rain during Temple Fang. Superb bands, starting with Temple Fang. CORDS, First Blood, Kadavar, DeWolff, De Staat, Phil Campbell & The Bastards Sons all on day one! Nevermind day two in that case right?! But then we had crazy Mando Diao, Seasick Steve, Supergrass and Sloper delivering great gigs. And nobody can avoid Speedmobile! Loud, fast and fun! As was the entire festival! On to next year… This week is filled with interviews, so once again, updates might be slow… But as of next week, things should turn back to normal…
