Nowadays, it sometimes feels impossible to get some quality stoner/doom without bumping into some crushingly slow/depressive stuff on one end or some dudes on a goofy trip to ’60s/’70s psychedelic goofballery on the other end. I’ll take some catchy fuzz in the vein of Black Sabbath or the mighty Electric Wizard any day, and from the sound of Windhand, I’m not alone. “Orchard” is a fantastic, lurching buzz bomb from their second album, Soma.
