Black Lung vs Nap - 12" Vinyl (Limited Edition)

Black Lung vs Nap - 12" Mini Album Vinyl only (Strictly limited - White 180gr Vinyl! + Download-Code)

Here’s NAP from Oldenburg, who caused quite a stir with their debut album “Villa” just at the start of the year. The first pressings sold out in no time. Their mix of doom, kraut, and stoner with epic instrumental passages quickly found fans and earned great respect. Now the trio gets down to business on this split 12” in a slightly more compact, slightly more polished way. More direct, yet never losing their playfulness and spiced with a dash of space rock, they evoke a dark version of early Hawkwind. The band shows that something is growing here, developing and refining itself, and that these three northerners still have plenty up their sleeves.

Next up is BLACK LUNG from Baltimore. At first, one might have thought this was a side project by Adam Bufano and Elias Schutzmann of THE FLYING EYES, from whom the psychedelic influences and playful elements were borrowed, but the trio has carved out its own niche and found a distinct, recognizable style of its own. Two guitars so heavy that no bass is needed. As a contrast, the floating, feverish vocals of Dave Cavalier and a unique way of rolling, grooving, and getting the clubs moving.
