Last heard from with 2021’s Black Harvest (review here), Spanish classic-style heavy rockers Green Desert Water are back next month with their third LP, Eerie Meadows, from which they’re streaming “The Blacksmith” now. The release will be through Small Stone and Kozmik Artifactz, giving international reach and cred alike to the warm-toned roll of “The Blacksmith” and the album as a whole, which at no point wants for appeal. Watch out for the hook when it gets you, because it does.

This is a bio I wrote, I think. At least I edited what they had, which is a thing Small Stone asks me to do every now and again. Let’s say I worked on from ‘The record features…” to “…to be celebrated” and call it there either way. I gotta look, hang on… yeah, some of that is what I sent over. It’s jumbled around a bit. Maybe not a full-on bio I wrote, but I did work on it at least.

It and all the rest came through the PR wire:

GREEN DESERT WATER: Spain-Based Power Trio To Release Eerie Meadows On June 19th Via Small Stone Recordings; New Track Streaming + Preorders Available

Asturias, Spain-based power trio GREEN DESERT WATER is back with a new album, Eerie Meadows, set for release on June 19th via small Stone Recordings.

The record features eight immersive and engaging tracks, merging heavy psychedelia and melodies born across decades from the 1970s on, speaking seamlessly in a way that is their own while still providing as much grunge shove as it does boogie vibes.

Their third album with Small Stone, Eerie Meadows follows the fan-favorite Black Harvest (2021), which established the current lineup of Kike Sanchís (guitar, vocals), Juan Arias (bass), and Dani Bárcena (drums) as one of the most enjoyable live acts in the heavy rock scene.

“With Eerie Meadows, we wanted to explore the duality between the heavy and the ethereal the mist, the ancient woods, and that feeling of finding home in the wild,” says the band. “Recording in a new studio was a challenge we set for ourselves to push our sound further; it’s a record about the cycles of life, the scars we carry, and the fire that burns even under the northern lights.”

While GREEN DESERT WATER keeps one foot decisively embedded in the classics – Mountain, Sabbath, Sasquatch – they execute the tight 37-minute LP with earned confidence and purpose, finding variety in mood amid a universal quality of craft. From the opening journey of “Northern Lights” to the closer “Meteora,” the band explores themes of loss, primal power, and spiritual survival. For the converted or those willing to be, it is a thing to be celebrated.

In advance of the record’s release, today the band unveils first single, “The Blacksmith,” now streaming at THIS LOCATION: https://smallstone.bandcamp.com/track/the-blacksmith

Eerie Meadows was recorded and mixed by Sergio Tutu at Tutu Estudios, Corvera (Asturias, Spain), co-produced by Diego Martinez and Sergio Tutu, mastered by Chris Goosman at Baseline Audio Labs in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and features cover art and design by Ossobuko Studio, additional layout by Alexander von Weiding, and backing vocals by Alvaro Barcena.
