"Even before you know it's self-titled, and even before you read the LP liner notes, you know it's all
Brant Bjork
. The man who has become the ambassador of Californian desert rock indeed plays every instrument across his 13th studio full-length,
Brant Bjork
. This in itself is something of a departure from recent offerings, as on 2018's
Mankind Woman
(HPS 083CD/G-LP/LTD-LP), Bjork worked closely with guitarist
Bubba DuPree
(
Void
), and both 2016's
Tao of the Devil
and 2014's
Black Power Flower
were constructed around the Bjork-led
Low Desert Punk Band
. Maybe revisiting his 1999 debut,
Jalamanta
, for a Heavy Psych Sounds 20th anniversary reissue in 2019 (HPS 107CD/LP/LTD-LP) had some effect on Bjork's mindset in terms of working solo, but he's come too far in the ensuing decades to repeat himself, and the songs on
Brant Bjork
-- recorded and mixed by
Yosef Sanborn
in Joshua Tree and mixed by
John McBain
(ex-
Monster Magnet
) -- show that, whether it's the mellow roll of 'Duke of Dynamite' or the signature take on classic heavy rock in 'Jesus Was a Bluesman' and percussion-backed funk of opener 'Jungle in the Sound'. There's no mistaking Brant Bjork, and on
Brant Bjork
, he strips his songwriting style to its core and brings out the organic vibe that's made him desert rock's most crucial practitioner. His legacy and pedigree are unmatched, with tenures in
Kyuss
/
Vista Chino
and
Fu Manchu
as well as the sadly short-lived
Ché
,
Ten East
, and others, but it is Brant Bjork's solo work that has had his greatest impact and shown him to be of inimitable character in craft and style. His unrelenting creativity and one-of-a-kind voice are writ large over the
Brant Bjork
album, which is precisely how it should be, and after more than two decades of exploring out in the sands, Bjork continues to find new ways to manifest not just the landscape of the desert, but the spirit of his relationship to it. In short, he is a master, and this is the record that bears his name. You miss it at your own peril." --
