In much the same way as the Allah-Las brilliantly (and effortlessly) appropriated the long past psychedelia of the West Coast and blended it with a contemporary twist, the new single from Early Ghost, Devil’s Got Me Now does exactly the same from a British perspective.

With his debut album, Introducing, Free Weed is positioned as the stoner-pop ambassador of the legalize-it culture. He has crafted a long player that splices the freak power illumination of Ween with the catchy spirit of Loser era Beck and the Butthole Surfers’ Pepper.
