[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

No howling dogs in the background this week, we promise.  Instead, we have the lovely sounds of JP’s beard, unneccesary wordplay, and Gringos.  There’s also some music scattered in there somewhere.

Caddywhompus' Chris Rehm Releases Salivary Stones

For those who don’t know (and you should), Caddywhompus are one of those bands that I will one day be able to tell people I liked before everyone else - a mix of Animal Collective-style audacity and stoner-jam sensibilities that revels in the galvanizing effects a wall of noise can have on listeners. Their self-titled debut EP sits permanently on my iPod, a place where transience is the norm, and has left me needing more.

Which brings me to the title line of this message, as the band’s lead singer and principal voxist Chris Rehm has just released a pay-what-you-want-for-it digital version of his solo project Salivary Stones. We have a review forthcoming, but an initial listen through the album’s six tracks of decadent instrumental dream pop has me thinking I will be yammering on like a fool about this one for a good long while (I mean, I used the word decadent just now for fuck’s sake).

You can stream Salivary Stones in it’s entirety below and head HERE to purchase the album when you’re done.
