Crones and the hallucinogenic slow dance spin of "Vegas Years"

The hallucinogenic slow dance spin and finger guns of "Vegas Years" by Prince George, BC, Canadian avant-garde alternative rock band Crones is soaked in so much essential vibe that is might make you feels a little drunk even if you are stone cold sober. It feels saturated in 70's funk and rock psychedelia as if Pink Floyd and Sly and the Family Stone partied together in the French Alps in 1975, got high as fuck, and put something down on tape at Super Bear Studios, (in an alternate universe of course). 

Apart from the sharply barbed lyrics that feel personally drawn, the vibe here is heavy cool, the kind of song that a bunch of friends or family could listen to on repeat, get sauced to and hash out all the shit that has been buried for years. The kind of experience when knives come out (figuratively speaking) but everyone, in the end is better for it, albeit severely bloodied and bruised (figuratively speaking). That is to say, this very deeply cool track is deeply moody too and even, at times, feels deeply dark. 

"Sometimes things get twisted

Sometimes things stay broke
Here I am sifting in the rubble
Of another dirty joke

Nobody hurt, nobody died
Except for me, but that was just inside
I'm just fighting to survive
The way that I am

Oh oh those Vegas years"

The storytelling here feels filmic or that is to say if "Vegas Years" was a movie I would want to see it.   

LINER NOTES:

[Crones return with Vegas Years, the beguiling second single from their forthcoming album "Human Error". Vegas Years finds the band taking a stylistic left turn into a heretofore untapped vein of intriguing psychedelic soul inspired sounds. From its world weary vocal melodies to its fiery instrumental freak-outs, Vegas Years is sure to whet the whistle of even the most jaded of audio aficionados.]

On and let me not forget to say how exquisitely potently gorgeous the sound is on this track, not something I say often enough.
