Feral Ohms - Feral Ohms (2017)

Feral Ohms is a power trio from Oakland, California, led by Comets On Fire / Howlin Rain / Heron Oblivion guitar and voice fireball Ethan Miller along with animal drummer Chris Johnson (Drunk Horse / Andy Human) and the loudest bassist in fifteen counties, Josh Haynes (Nudity). The band turns the spatial pyrotechnics and expansive spirit of classic psychedelia inside out, dragging it through the punk rock era kicking and screaming and boils it down into a series of explosions that start at needle drop and end when the record does. They blast pure action and outlaw rock n roll joy through relentless, violent musical force, blowing the doors off psychedelic rock and letting loose the raw, wild, high speed feedback wail of something massive careening off the rails and into your ears. This is FO's debut studio album. Recorded by Eric ''King Riff'' Bauer (Ty Segall, White Fence, Heron Oblivion), Phil Manley (Earthless, Wooden Shjips) and mixed with scorched Earth policy by Chris Woodhouse (Thee Oh Sees, Fuzz).

''By the standards of his previous work in Comets On Fire and Howlin Rain, Ethan Miller took a relatively mellow detour last year when he figured in the heavy folk-rock band Heron Oblivion. His desire to stretch the parameters of psychedelia remains a defining mission, though, as proved by the manic brilliance of yet another Miller project, Feral Ohms.''
