There’s stoner music, music that helps to deepen and expand and augment a preexisting high. And then there’s drug music, music that lights your synapses up and bends time and generally fogs your mind up the way a very pleasant drug would. Wakin On A Pretty Daze, with its wandering, drifting, slow-blooming guitar solos and its inwardly muttered contemplations, is drug music. And it’s drug music about being the sort of responsible upstanding parent who maybe doesn’t have time for actual drugs anymore, who just wants to nest up with his kids and shut the world out. Vile has grown more and more confident with his gifts since we first met him a few years ago, and here, he’s achieved a meandering, zoned-out, thoughtful nirvana state. Listen to it in the right mood and it’ll help you get there, too. –Tom [LISTEN]
