He wasn’t particularly tall or short, neither fat nor thin, with features that fit together cleanly but not too cleanly. If it wasn’t for his eyes you’d pass him on the street without thinking twice about it.
But it was hard for you to ignore the thick flames pouring out from the empty sockets, hungry and sickly yellow, lapping at his unremarkable brow without leaving so much as a blister.
Where had he even come from? He’d appeared so suddenly….
Even outdoors with a biting wind, the smell of sulfur was overwhelming. It burrowed through your nose and sat deep in your gut, pungent and stagnant.
When he spoke, it burrowed through your ears and sat somewhere near the base of your neck, deep and unyielding. Like he wasn’t speaking them at all, that they were only ideas that you were just now coming to understand. Like everything he had ever said and would ever say was written on a stone tablet covered in grime and ash and you were shoveling away heavy handfuls of the stuff, uncovering a word at a time.
And when he told you he could give you the world, you believed him.
The Delstroyers are one of the most awesome surf bands on the planet. I've heard them preview some of these songs live, and they blew my socks off! The single "Bomb Bomb" is incredible! Can't wait to hear the complete new album. Robbie Reverb
Some sweet hollow grinders on this set!! Great originals and covers represented here! Keepin' it nice and surfy in Canada. A solid album that has ten toes over through most every tune! Kahuna Cole
The debut LP from Kioea is dreamy psychedelic surf music that calls back to the '60s while feeling remarkably contemporary. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 22, 2023
Although I normally like to play music in mixes of 3-5 artists at a time, the "long track" on this album actually works better than all the songs played separately and mixed with other music. Some great psychedelic and surf guitar work on here. If you like this, try Golden Dawn Arkestra and Ouzo Bazooka. xpatofthemind
