Some pretty good inferences one might make looking at the first lineup announcement for Up in Smoke 2023, the annual Sound of Liberation festival held each year in Pratteln, Switzerland. It says The Obsessed will be on tour in Europe this Fall, which I’m pretty sure they’ve said anyway, but it might also be a clue as to the release of their next album. On the other hand, they might just be fucking touring because they’re The Obsessed and that’s what they do. Also it’s further expansion of Alabama Thunderpussy‘s reunion and since this festival is Sep. 29 to Oct. 1 and their prior confirmation was Keep it Low from Oct. 6 to 7, they’ll likely be on the road in Europe for the better part of at least two weeks. That’s not nothing.
Consider also Yawning Man heading abroad in Fall for their new album, announced yesterday. And did you hear that Dirty Sound Magnet record? I didn’t until now but it’s a ripper. New school oldschool blues heavy. Rad. And Eyehategod getting back at it too. It’s a cool bill, mix of newer acts and recognizable with Zeal & Ardor on top nothing to complain about.
Of course, there’s more to come here, but hell, I’d go to this. You? Festival in Switzerland in October? Why on earth would you say no to that?
Also note there’s a new Facebook page for the fest. From the PR wire:
UP IN SMOKE 2023 – ZEAL & ARDOR, GRAVEYARD, THE OBSESSED & MANY MORE ANNOUNCED
Hey Smokers, the long awaited day has come. We’re stoked to finally reveal the first names for our 2023 edition. We hope you like it as much as we do!
Get ready for three days of finest heavy rock music… this is just the beginning.

I was actually pretty glad to see the announcement of this announcement last week, because while I didn’t get that posted — they were confirmed for Høstsabbat on Friday so that let me post about it; there’s another confirmation coming tomorrow — and those put together mean Yawning Man will be touring Europe for about a full month in support of this new record. That’s not out of character, necessarily, but neither something that happens every year.
Pushing into the band’s improv roots, the new album, Long Walk of the Navajo is comprised of three songs, the last and shortest of which, “Blood Sand” (8:58) is streaming now in all its lush, ambient gorgeousness. You’ll note Billy Cordell back on bass in place of Mario Lalli, who’s been going hard between Fatso Jetson and his Rubber Snake Charmers project, and that the recording was helmed by Steve Kille of Dead Meadow. And as ever, you’ll also note the tone of founding guitarist Gary Arce, because golly that’s lovely.
The album takes its title from the 1864 forced relocation of the Navajo tribe by the US government from Arizona to the east of New Mexico, during which a minimum of 200 people died. That’s after the Trail of Tears, which was between 1830-1850, but of course all part of the same (ongoing) genocide of Native American peoples.
One of my most anticipated records for the rest of 2023, and “Blood Sand” only makes that feeling stronger. From the PR wire:

ALBUM DESCRIPTION
Long walk of the Navajo features Gary Arce (Guitar), Bill Stinson (Drums), and the return of Billy Cordell (Bass). The Long Walk Sessions were inspired by a desert storm that hit the Joshua tree landscape that created a dark and gloomy backdrop for the bands creativity and improvisations. Blood Sand was recorded at Gary’s house by Steve Kille of Dead Meadow in Oct of 2022. It was a complete improvisation. Long Walk of the Navajo and Respiratory Pause were recorded at Gatos Trail Recording Studio by Dan Joeright in January of 2023. All songs mixed and mastered by Steve Kille.

Well that’s lovely. A heartfelt thank you to the crew of Høstsabbat for adding Yawning Man to an already-righteous 2023 lineup and providing this morning with a much-needed boost of, I don’t know, will to live? The desert mainstays also announced the announcement of their next album this morning, and to know they’ll be on tour in Europe this Fall supporting it is all the better. I’m sure there will be tour dates forthcoming, more fests, etc., but to think the Gary Arce-led desert rock progenitors and I will be in the same place at the same time is more than welcome amid what remains of my melting brains and while they’re more known for playing open landscapes than churches, I have the distinct feeling that their particular brand of worship will have no problem translating.
Find your solace. Find your people. Find your music. Lose yourself in all of it.
From the fest:
HØSTSABBAT 2023 – Yawning Man (US)
Today´s announcement are legends in every matter.
Being a band since back in 1986 Yawning Man find themselves as one of the pivotal founders behind the mythical and world known Desert Rock scene.
This beautiful cultural movement arising from the countless generator parties held in the Californian deserts, with jams as long as the days, and a crew of people all set to become forefathers of the entire scene we all love today.
We are humbled to be able to welcome such a band to our anniversary.
The star lit melodies of Yawning Man , combined with their uber laid back grooves and licks, are painting pictures of sunsets, palm trees, and endless horizons all day long.
We cant wait to bring the desert heat to Oslo!(#127797#)(#127774#)

Park myself in Joshua Tree for a weekend just as the winter is turning to spring, catch a ton of awesome bands from and beyond the desert? Yeah, that sounds pretty magical, to be honest. Nothing against San Francisco. I’ve seen videos from outside at Thee Parkside and it looks like an incredible place to see a gig, but if I’m making the trip from the other side of the country — and unless there’s a sudden fiscal windfall in my favor, I’m not, sadly — it’s the desert calling, all the more with All Souls and BigPig and Third Ear Experience on that bill. That’s a memorable weekend in the making.
The 2023 lineups for Heavy Psych Sounds Fest in California are finished, and with the two posters next to each other you can see some of the differences from one to the other, but they’re mostly the same as artists will play in one city one night, the other the other, and as someone who remembers seeing Yawning Man and Fatso Jetson together a decade ago at Desertfest London 2013 (review here), I’d offer up a kidney to do so again if I thought I could be healed in time to actually enjoy the show in March.
Anybody want to buy some… shit I have nothing of value. Alright then.

Of all of Yawning Man‘s releases — which go back the better part of 40 years if you count the demo collection The Birth of Sol (discussed here) — I’m not sure I’ve ever heard their tones sound as warm as they do on Live at Giant Rock (interview here). That’s true of Gary Arce‘s guitar as it floats in signature style over Mario Lalli‘s bass in near-15-minute set opener “Tumbleweeds in the Snow,” and it might even be truer of the bass than the guitar, but it extends to Bill Stinson‘s drums as well. It’s like they recorded the sunshine they were playing in, and even if you’ve never seen the video of Arce, Lalli and Stinson jamming in the Mojave Desert at… wait for it… Giant Rock, the audio experience is as immersive as any of their work on ‘not live’ studio LPs.
It’s like the Platonic ideal of Yawning Man. It maintains a heavy underpinning in Lalli‘s bass and is ultra-fluid in its instrumentalist groove, searching and if not improvised then working more from a blueprint than a strict sense of structure. The CD edition of Live at Giant Rock runs 47 minutes — the video and download are five minutes longer, the vinyl shorter without the bonus track “Space Finger” — but there’s really no wrong answer when it comes to hearing it. “The Last Summer Eve” howls out its guitar over a steady, terrestrial roll, guitar and bass each moving their own way but complementary, not playing two separate songs but not playing the same thing the same way either and both feature in the mix while the drums round out and punctuate. Recorded by Johnathan Weber with a mix by Mathias Schneeberger, there’s more dimension to Live at Giant Rock than most live albums. If they had released it as ‘Giant Rock Session’ or just called it ‘Giant Rock’ and pitched it as a regular old full-length, I’m not sure I’d be able to argue. It blurs that line in sound, which isn’t really anything new for Yawning Man, I suppose.
The recording was filmed on May 18, 2020, by Sam Grant and released that October through Heavy Psych Sounds, and its poignancy as a document of a time when live music culture was swept out from under the feet of the audience and artists alike isn’t to be lost, and certainly “Nazi Synthesizer” as a wordplay is maybe even more relevant now than it was shortly before the 2020 US presidential election — though it was definitely relevant then as well, what with all those fascists around; the difference is now they’re in Congress — and while I’m pretty sure there’s no actual synth on it, just effects, the song’s balance between more intense moments of wash and atmospheric spaciousness is emblematic of exactly how Yawning Man helped found the style of desert rock. Add punk to “Nazi Synthesizer” and you pretty much have it.
But although Live at Giant Rock was made and issued as a result of the fact that live shows couldn’t happen, serving also as a precursor for the streaming series Live in the Mojave Desert, which featured Earthless, Nebula, Stöner, Spirit Mother and Mountain Tamer, its resonance goes beyond that, and while I won’t discount the plague or the generational trauma it caused and continues to cause on humanity in general though on a lesser scale and definitely less present in the news cycle, what Yawning Man accomplish here is outside of time. Just past its midsection, “Blowhole Sunrise” seems to grow even broader in Arce‘s guitar. Stinson and Lalli are right there, the structure, a foundation, and then the drums drop out for a moment and the guitar seems to fly away, its ringing lines like the waves that would turn the Cali desert into the seabed it once was. It’s hypnotic, but the real trick is that it never quite stops moving as much as it seems to, and even as one measure is echoing out, the next is happening, so that Yawning Man always feel like they’re a little ahead of you, which, well, also nothing new. Fair enough.
And of course the band’s tie to the desert, to the legacy of generator parties out in the wild or at some abandoned skatepark, whatever it was, is a presence here. That context is useful to appreciate what they’re doing, I guess, but if you didn’t have it, I’m not sure it would do anything to detract from the languid motion of “Space Finger,” the way the bass goes down and the guitar goes up and the drums hold the two together — the essential dynamic of Yawning Man‘s style and the very balance they most toy with throughout Live at Giant Rock — or the fact that this is a band playing at their best in a rare situation and setting. Like all of the live records that came out when shows weren’t happening — and there was a pointed, delightfully contradictory abundance of them — it’s pandemic-era in terms of timeline, but there’s so much more to it as a piece and declaration of who Yawning Man are as a band, the impact and influence they’ve had and continue to have on the shape of a genre in which they only ever partially reside. “Space Finger” hums to an unpretentious finish and is gone like the moment itself. Even good shows end.
Yawning Man reportedly have a new record in the works to follow 2019’s Macedonian Lines (review here), and in the meantime, Lalli has been out with Mario Lalli and the Rubber Snake Charmers touring far and wide, and Arce has been collaborating with Bob Balch of Fu Manchu and others in Big Scenic Nowhere and the forthcoming Yawning Balch, so there’s never really any lack of activity even if Yawning Man aren’t always in full-time all the time, go-go-go momentum. Wouldn’t really suit them if they were, anyway. They are and remain a treasure held by desert rock itself maybe too much an underground secret, but all the more valued for that by those who appreciate them. I’ll put Live at Giant Rock up there with their best work, gladly. It’s in good company.
As always, I hope you enjoy. Thanks for reading.

Kid coming downstairs as I typed that last sentence above. That’s a 5:45AM wakeup. I got up at 4, as usual. Tomorrow I might sleep late, which means I’d get up whenever he does.
I know everyone is tight on money, but if you bought any of the new Obelisk merch this week, thank you. That support goes a long way. It’s linked below and is at: http://mibk.bigcartel.com/products
While I’m plugging and dropping links: New episode of The Obelisk Show on Gimme Metal airs at 5PM Eastern today on the Gimme app or at http://gimmemetal.com. I’d recommend the app, but however you get there, thanks if you do.
Kind of a blur of a week, but the writing was easy enough. I’m behind on news stuff already for Monday and have more to do for today as I write this, but so it goes. At some point this morning — or what I hope will be this morning — Hippie Death Cult will announce their next tour with their new drummer who they announced yesterday. In the meantime, I have other stuff waiting to go up.
Later now. Went swimming, showered, had a egg-on-chaffles sandwich. The primary update here is much the same as last week. Broke, overwhelmed. I know I’m not alone in that. It’s everybody who isn’t already super-rich. And kind of amazing that how isolated we all are and have been since the plague — it occurred to me that I used to just go out and do stuff sometimes — actually serves the purposes of the people who are ripping us off on everything. If everyone is at home staring at their phone, no one is in the streets demanding debt relief or subsidies to get by, or god forbid, that the artificially inflated costs of living and basic necessities are actually brought down. Why is it that prices only ever go up?
So yeah, thanks for buying merch.
Have a great and safe weekend. Have fun, watch your head, hydrate. Stay warm or cool depending on your geography and preference. I’ll be back on Monday with that review no one’s gonna give a crap about and a bunch more.

What is a Yawning Balch? It’s a bit Yawning and a bit Balch, I suppose. The former is desert rock progenitor trio Yawning Man, working as the three-piece of founding guitarist Gary Arce with bassist Billy Cordell — Mario Lalli being busy touring his Mario Lalli and the Rubber Snake Charmers collaboration with vocalist Sean Wheeler and the dudes from Stöner — and drummer Bill Stinson, and the latter is Bob Balch, best known for the shred that accompanies all that fuzz in Fu Manchu.
The two parties apparently had a pre-Thanksgiving get-down and there’s an album — perhaps one, perhaps more — to be dug out of the jams. Neato, right?
It doesn’t sound like such a different process from that of Big Scenic Nowhere, which involves Arce, Balch and Stinson, along with a host of bassists and Mos Generator‘s Tony Reed. That band also got together out in the desert, recorded a ton of whatnot and then sent Balch home to start carving it into songs. They’ve gotten two records and two EPs out of those sessions so far, so I look forward to hearing what might emerge from Yawning Balch, though I’m not sure if that’s a name for a project or just the album title. At this point, it’s all pretty nebulous either way. They could end up calling it something completely different by the time it comes out, if it comes out.
And when might that be? Well I don’t know that either, but Balch shared a quickie clip of the recording on the ol’ sociables, so here’s that along with his brief announcement. When/if I hear more, I’ll post more:
I jammed with Yawning Man last weekend. Here is a small un-mixed/un-mastered clip in the bottom picture. We are calling the album YAWNING BALCH. I’m so honored to have my name involved with this band. Can’t wait for you to hear the album. We are sitting on three hours of jams. Might be a double record. Stay tuned!

Desert rock progenitors Yawning Man have announced reissues through Heavy Psych Sounds for 2016’s Historical Graffiti (review here), 2010’s Nomadic Pursuits (review here) and the 2007 tape demo compilation, The Birth of Sol (discussed here), continuing a stretch of catalog deep-diving that has also seen them issue their 2005 debut album, Rock Formations (discussed here), on Ripple Music, as well as the Live at Giant Rock LP, also on Heavy Psych Sounds. Can a reissue of the 2013 Euro tour split between Yawning Man and Fatso Jetson (discussed here) be far behind? Only time and the PR wire will tell.
Plenty to chew on, either way. NomadicPursuits, which gets new art here, stands as a sentimental favorite for me personally, while Historical Graffiti marked a moment of departure for the long-running instrumentalist three-piece, recording in Buenos Aires with an expanded lineup to produce something distinct even within Yawning Man‘s varied discography. The Birth of Sol is rough in its actual sound — as a collection of ’80s and/or ’90s-era demos might be — but has a cult following even within that of the band itself, and was previously released on a double-cassette in 2018. I bought that shit. No regrets.
Might buy this version too, because, well, it’s Yawning Man, and the more you get this, the more likely they are to make another new record, and that’s how this thing works.
So work it:

ALBUM DESCRITPION Heavy Psych Sounds is reissuing the Yawning Man legendary album Historical Graffiti in brand new coloured vinyls.
Historical Graffiti is the band’s fourth full-length, out in 2016. Gary Arce, the guitarist, seems comfortable sitting on a single vamp throughout the opener ‘The Wind Cries Edalyn’, allowing the additions of violin and bandoleon accordion (played by the tango musicians Sara Ryan and Adolfo Trepiana, respectively) to weave melodies in between. Despite the titular connection to the Jimi Hendrix song, it bears no discernible resemblance to ‘The Wind Cries Mary’ and it is a deceptive number; what seems such a simple, almost easy-listening song reveals more colour with every listen.
‘Her Phantom Finger of Copenhagen’ is slightly darker and almost sounds, with the slight distortion on Arce’s guitar, as if it could have come from Pot Head, the EP the band released in 2005. Mario Lalli, the bass player, begins the third song, ‘Naomi Crayola’ with a throbbing single note, aided by Bill Stimson’s metronomic drumming. Imagine if Can grew up near the beach, it’s that sort of vibe. The only problem with the song – and the album, as it happens – is that it is too short. Ryan’s violin returns in ‘The Secret Language of Elephants’, this time playing the role of keeping the main vamp alive while Arce’s guitar generates an evocative soundscape that opens in your mind a wide, violet sky like that above a desert the moment after the sun disappears for the night.
The closing song and title track is the most free of the five on the album, with Stimson’s beat conjuring memories of Kyuss’s more mellow moments from Welcome to Sky Valley, Lalli’s bass marking the simplest of bottom ends and Arce having a ball over the top. (taken from the band’s Bandcamp)

ALBUM DESCRIPTION
Heavy Psych Sounds is reissuing the Yawning Man legendary album Nomadic Pursuits in brand new coloured vinyls and new cover. Nomadic Pursuits is the second Yawning Man studio album, released in 2010. With a five-year gap between the first album and this one, the band had time to further expand on their freeform desert sound. Heavy Psych Sounds is now giving new life to this psychedelic gem with a new special edition!
YAWNING MAN IS: Gary Arce – Guitar Mario Lalli – Bass Bill Stinson – Drums
Good show. Good tracks. Two Acid King songs to start, new stuff from Nebula, Sasquatch, Obiat, Torpedo Torpedo, Les Nadie — with whose debut album I am enthralled; review next week — Chat Pile, Brujas del Sol, Cities of Mars, Freedom Hawk (also reviewing next week). Classics from YOB, The Devin Townsend Band, Yawning Man, Kyuss, Sleep. New classic, anyhow, from the latter and a live cut from Yawning Man that’s gorgeously immersive to end out before the bonus track Freedom Hawk closes. I don’t know how much sense it makes on paper, but it flows well.
I don’t really have a theme here other than “make a good show.” I wanted to mix it up with stuff people might know and not, hopefully keep listeners hooked. Even 89 episodes of The Obelisk Show, I still a little bit live in fear that at some point Gimme Metal is going to be like, “You’re weird, you play weird shit, you never turn your playlists in on time and you suck at this,” and give me the axe. It’s happened to me on radio before (ask me about that some time; glorious story), but hasn’t happened yet here. Still, a nod to accessibility isn’t the worst idea once every 90 shows or so.
Thanks if you listen and thanks for reading.
