Album Review: Brant Bjork & The Low Desert Punk Band - Black Power Flower

Stoner-rock alumnus Brant Bjork sticks to his chosen path on ‘solo’ effort Black Power Flower.

Regular conventions such as repetitive riffs, roared phrases and astral/mystical iconography remain front and centre on the likes of Controllers Destroyed and Soldier Of Love. The brew is watered down on Buddha Time (Everything Fine) and Stokely Up Now, preferring more obvious rock traditions, but Boogie Woogie On Your Brain and Hustler’s Blues prove Bjork ain’t about to leave the Kyuss/Fu Manchu gravy train just yet.
