DATURA4 follow up their acclaimed 2015 debut album Demon Blues with the equally rockin’ and lysergic long-player Hairy Mountain.
DATURA4 are proud to announce the release of album number two, Hairy Mountain, available in store and online from October 28 through the Alive NaturalSound Records label.
Hairy Mountain builds on DATURA4’s ‘guitars to infinity’ approach and classic song-writing skills and features ten solid tracks which celebrate an unbridled joy for rock’n’roll with a nod to the spiritual presence of their hairy Oz rock forefathers.
Opening track ‘Fool’s Gold Rush’ kicks things off on a haze of heavy fuzz and dreamy vocal harmonies, and then leads straight into the menacing ‘Trolls’ which sets the album on a course of hard rock riffage and psych-boogie blues. Songwriters Mariani and Hitchcock make comment on their fear of the world turning to shit and other sobering themes, alongside the utopian optimism of the title track – with its monolithic groove and lysergic tale of perfect surf breaks and peace-pipe smoking chiefs.
Recorded during the summer of 2016 at Electric City in North Fremantle and Real2Reel Studios in WA’s south-west, Hairy Mountain is the culmination of a lifetime of musical archaeology and the ongoing search for the never ending riff.
