“Black Grease” by The Black Angels, fromPassover (Light in the Attic):

The Black Angels travel in the same druggy psychedelic ether as the Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Jesus and Mary Chain and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. The Texas-based drone denizens treat pop hooks like the plague, coddling a sludgy concoction of reverb-molested guitars and single-note solos. Some listeners might find their patience tested, but others will nod their heads in angelic bliss. Either way, expect amps that go to 11 and monotone jams that go to 20 (minutes, that is).
