Brant Bjork
Jalamanta 2LP (baby blue vinyl)

A cornerstone of desert rock and a stone-cold classic for anyone digging deep into the Palm Desert sound. Originally released in 1999, Jalamanta was Brant Bjork’s first solo album after his time with Kyuss and became the foundation for a solo career that would make him one of the defining figures of desert and stoner rock.

Built around warm fuzz, hypnotic grooves and an effortlessly laid-back feel, Jalamanta is heavy without ever sounding rushed. Tracks like “Automatic Fantastic,” “Cobra Jab,” “Sun Brother” and “Low Desert Punk” capture that unmistakable combination of psychedelic haze, bluesy guitar and sun-baked desert attitude. The whole record has a loose, organic quality that makes it feel less like a conventional studio album and more like a long afternoon somewhere deep in the California desert.

This limited Baby Blue Vinyl edition is a particularly good fit for the record: laid-back, unmistakably Californian and made for the turntable. If you’re into Kyuss, Fu Manchu, desert rock, stoner grooves or simply records with serious atmosphere, Jalamanta belongs in the collection.
