If you haven’t heard it yet, and if you’ve got 12 minutes to kill and a hankering for a drum solo complemented by flamenco claps — and you know you do — Spanish trio Viaje a 800 have a new demo track posted over on their MySpace page that’s definitely worth checking out. If you’ve never heard the band before, their last album, 2007’s Estampida de Trombones, was frickin’ great, and I’d recommend that as a starting point for sure.

There’s a lot going on in the new song, which is called “Oculi Ómnium in Te Spérant, Dómine,” from laid back stoner grooves à la Monster Magnet to far out guitar-led psychedelic jamming well suited to their free-form style. I don’t know if “Oculi Ómnium in Te Spérant, Dómine” is set to be included on an upcoming album or what, but it rules, so we can only hope it makes it onto plastic in one form or another. For now, free digital listening isn’t a bad way to go.
