Album Review: Vista Chino - Peace

The Immortal Bard once apparently said: “What's in a name?/That which we call a bud/By any other name/Would still smell as pungent”. Such is the case with the first record from Vista Chino, aka Blues From The Red Sun-era Kyuss minus Josh Homme. Peace comes across like a sun-drenched, acid-fried, slow-burning classic and sounds like everything we all hoped John Garcia, Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri could still do. Blending the rocky accessibility of Kyuss' …And The Circus Leaves Town and the jam-o-rama of Blues…, Peace is a groovy stoner rock behemoth. Welcome back to Sky Valley.
