Our last NAAM inhalation was the fiery 7-minute “Icy Row.” As mentioned, the sludgy psych trio’s 10-song collection, put to tape on a 100-acre dairy farm in the Catskills, included any number of epics like the 17-minute opener “Kingdom” and almost 8-minute, darkly atmospheric (and, really, pummeling) closer “Black Ice.” With “Skyling Slip” we get a taste of the guys moving into less extended, but still epic territory. The video, directed by Rachelle Rahme, was shot on location in Brooklyn and includes all sorts of stoned mysticism with a fair share of bearded skateboarding (it’s like watching Fenriz ollie), beer-y carousing, open-mouth kissing, bad acting, and near-seppuku.
A more realistic ending would’ve found the guys passed out on the floor of Duff’s at 4AM, but it’s more triumphant this way.
NAAM is out 10/20 via Tee Pee. You can catch them live:
1/17 – New York, NY @ Generation Records
1/30 – Brooklyn, NY @ Brooklyn Bowl w/ Earl Greyhound

Unless there’s a farm in the Catskills that harvests books filled with melodramatic personal entries, I think you meant dairy
ha ha. correct.
When Eli lands the kick flip as the breakdown comes in, heroic.
I wonder if video and digital will EVER look anywhere near as good as film…
I want to party with these guys
I think I’m in love
Wow, these guys think they’re really cool. It must have been hard fitting so much ego into one clip. And as far as the music goes, nothing wrong with loving Sabbath, but there should be some of yourself in the songs as well (see Part Chimp).
hey buzzkillington above. clearly the dudes aren’t taking themselves seriously in the video. your a weener. part chimp sucks.
lovin it-stoneydrugged punks just do it!!!!
