PRESS CLIPS

Black Cowgirl shows the band reaching a Pearls and Brass-style balance of blues, Americana and heavy. (Obelisk.net)

Black Cowgirl are a fucking brilliant Psych/Stoner/Hard Rock Band incorporating elements of 70s style Hard Rock with Modern Stoner/Doom/Grunge vibes to truly stand out from the crowd. When a band features members from Electric Horsemen and the former drummer of Backwoods Payback you know this stuff is going to be some fucked up groovy vibes. And it is. These guys are staring to make a name for themselves for the great blend of Hard Rocking Stoner Infused Psych Riffs. (The Sludge Lord)

Crawling out of the dark and ominous cornfields of Central Pennsylvania, Black Cowgirl comes covered in mud and dripping with echo on their latest full-length, a psychedelic trip through the headspace of a band that hails from the middle of nowhere and wants to fly to undiscovered planets on the outskirts of our galaxy.

Black Cowgirl’s been around since 2008, and with this new album, they’ve set their feet firmly in the history and context of stoner rock, with inspiration flooding in from southern rock and doom traditions, their sound distinctly their own but clearly influenced from the annals of their genre: The Atomic Bitchwax, Clutch, Kyuss, even The Hellacopters.

The first track, “Talk of Wolves” is reminiscent of an early Monster Magnet track, and kicks the album off with a nuclear bang. The title track, “Weight of Oblivion” is another killer, grinding in at a slower pace than many of the album’s central “strutter” songs (like “Roadmaster” and “Dead House”), taking on a swirling, doubled prog guitar line and packing it in tight with atmosphere and wisps of the dankest smoke.

It is epic, with songs like the closing double “Becoming Nothing” and “Unio Mystica” bleeding into each other, unable to separate themselves in the delicious mess of squealing wah and fuzzed out bliss. This should be a new modern stand-by, and Black Cowgirl should be one of your new favorite unsung bands.
