Dorian Sorriaux \u2013 Hungry Ghost<\/strong>
\nRelease Date: June 29, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

This has been a busy fucking year for The Brainfart. Started off kind of slow but then before I knew it, albums were flying at me left and right. Psych rock, stoner rock, metal, thrash, you name it. It was all coming at me faster than I could keep up with it so even though it was a late comer, the debut psychedelic folk release by Blues Pills guitarist Dorian Sorriaux was just the thing I needed to slow down the pace.<\/p>\n

Whenever I hear that someone from a particular band is breaking away to do a \u201cfolk\u201d album or something remotely different from the band they\u2019re known for, I always go into it with an air of caution. \u201cHuitoto\u201d (pronounced we-toe-toe) opened the album and right away I felt my blood pressure drop, my eyes close, and I could feel myself swept away down this haunting river of sweet sounds. With its sparse instrumentation and Neil Young meets David Crosby vocals of Sorriaux, \u201cHuitoto\u201d was one hell of a song to walk right into upon opening the door.<\/p>\n

The title track, \u201cHungry Ghost\u201d definitely had a more David Crosby feel to it and much like the first song, it had me continuing this slow, brooding journey of the senses that, while listening on headphones, made me feel as if there were only two people in existence: myself and Dorian Sorriaux. This is an experience that not just any and\/or every band can make the listener feel but when it is felt, you know that it is something truly special.<\/p>\n
