Playing in NYC tomorrow with Nadja. Wish I could go! Both of Grails and Nadja rule my world.

I actually couldn't even GIVE away tickets to the show today on the radio. It was a shame.

Really? That's awful. 2 brilliant bands who deserve more.

Just ordered the new album from Important. Better be as good as their others. :)

Take Refuge is a solid release on par with Burning Off Impurities, though I wish they'd kept the sludgy-ness Black Tar Prophecies on both records
hopefully Doomsdayer's Holiday (due on Oct. 7th) strays a bit from the drone-raga template

Doomsdayer's Holiday might just be album of the year. Fucking awesome! (and heavier than previous releases by a long way)

Sounds better with each listen

I wonder if this LP has some of the tracks we saw them do at Terrastock. Cause those were heavy and amazing.

They are playing my Fall into Darkness festival in Portland, OR this Sun 10/12 w/Sunn0))), SubArachnoid Space, and Trees.

sleeve it will be those tracks

ok, this new album is cool.
they were still really boring live, tho. ;-)

"immediate mate" sounds like a bit of an om rip. which would be a "set your controls for the heart of the sun" rip, I guess. it's cool.
this seems pretty spot-on:
Grails make great background music for being stoned. It's hard to imagine having to stand up while listening to them. I mean this in a good way.
when I was at a dead c gig, I was thinking the same thing. maybe I'm just getting old, but man, I wish I could sit down at more shows.

Burning Off Impurities is really rocking my world at the moment. Such amazingly focused, concentrated playing.

Black Tar Prophecies 4 is out now and is very nice indeed. Highly recommended.

Two tracks from the new lp that have been released so far kill: http://stereogum.com/640731/grails-almost-grew-my-hair-stereogum-premiere/mp3s/

pre-ordered the album couple of weeks ago
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 18 February 2011 23:34 (thirteen years ago) link
I got 'Black Tar Prophecies V. 1-3' by Grails a couple of weeks ago and last night listened to it and Amon Duul II 'Phallus Dei' on nearly alternating tracks in my player and was really impressed how well those two records went together, especially considering the age difference of the recordings.
