Stoned Jesus to Reissue First Communion Aug. 21

This reissue of Stoned Jesus‘ 2010 debut album, First Communion (discussed here) follows on the heels of Napalm Records compiling their demos onto last year’s From the Outer Space release, as well of course as their fourth long-player, 2018’s Pilgrims (review here). The band canceled tour dates earlier this year celebrating the 10th anniversary of the album and their existence more generally, and that’s a bummer if a universal one, but at least the record’s getting back out there. When I heard it in 2011 the Sleep vibe hit me heavy, but I wasn’t complaining about it then and I’m not complaining about it now either. These cats have always known how to make an impression.

I’m a little wistful here because I was hoping to see them for the first time in the US at Desertfest NYC in September and that’s been called off, but so it goes. “Life sucks and then you die,” as my dear mother used to tell me.

On that note, to the PR wire:
