Released as a limited-run EP that the band was selling on their US tour back in September, Full Moon Blizzard has five new jams from Denver's country-sludge riders packaged in a hamdmade paper sleeve...we only got a couple of these off of the band when they came through Baltimore, and I'm not sure if we'll be able to restock it once these sell out. The disc opens with "Razorwire Blues", a drowsy rocker that 's pretty upbeat compared to their Dark Songs Of The Prairie stuff, but still has that Neil Young-gone-sludge metal vibe with distant howling vocals. "Thunderclap Stomp" has the thick sheen of reverb that enshrouded Dark Songs and sounds like it could've fit right onto that album; there's a killer hook here too, and some pretty aggressive metallic riffing before it slows down into a killer psychedelic zone-out for the last half of the song. "Oh, Bury Me Not..." is a thumping country-folk jam moving through a swirling fog of effects, heavy drumming, somber acoustic strum and layered vocals that are even more hazed out and stoned than usual for these guys. "Gallows Pole" follows, another slow motion countrified sludge jam, and the last track "Phantom Ride" marries a faintly distorted acoustic guitar and slow-galloping rhythms to a Harvest-esque melody. The three "louder" songs are basically demo versions of tunes that are slated to appear on Across Tundra's next full length, while the other two folk tunes are recordings that only appear on this disc. The recording is pretty raw, as everything was recorded live to tape and it's essentially an in-the-moment document of the band's new material captured through busted equipment and vintage amplifiers, but if you were into their Dark Songs album and the Divides EP, these jams definitely bring the heavy Tundra action. Eerie, druggy Western atmosphere from Denver's heaviest. The unmarked CD-R comes in a paper folder printed on an odd textured stock embossed with swirly patterns, along with a couple of insert/lyric sheets and an actual black bird feather.
