The second Sun and Sail Club record, The Great White Dope, is due out on May 12. Adding further supergroup clout to the four-piece is vocalist Tony Adolescent of The Adolescents, who came aboard to front the faster collection of material following 2013’s Mannequin (discussed here) at the behest of guitarist/principle songwriter Bob Balch. Not that they were exactly lacking supergroup clout before. Balch and drummer Scott Reeder‘s positions in Fu Manchu, bassist Scott Reeder‘s pedigree in Kyuss and The Obsessed (he’s also currently in Fireball Ministry) and Tony Adolescent‘s, as noted, in The Adolescents, are bound to (continue to) bring some built-in interest from fuzz heads, but the Sun and Sail Club material — experimental and progressive last time, faster and more straightforward on The Great White Dope — stands on its own as well. Then it runs around a lot. Must be that dope.

Preorders are being taken for the album now, and the band has posted some footage from the studio of the album’s making. Balch is no stranger to instruction, running PlayThisRiff.com and working with members of Black Cobra, Fatso Jetson, Dead Meadow, C.O.C., Orange Goblin and countless more in that capacity, but the clip below of “Dresden Fireball Freakout Flight” is a little different, centered around Reeder‘s drums as we watch him lay down the track that will eventually make the final cut. A quick song and a video worth watching until the end for anyone who ever underappreciated heavy rock drumming — who would do such a thing? — the amount of laughter before and after the track is done, particularly as Reeder trips over his drum throne, really just emphasizes the good time these guys are clearly having in the studio. Of course, that’s what it’s all about.
