Black Smoke Rising

Greta Van Fleet

Four tracks of high-voltage revivalism. Soaring vocals and blues-drenched riffs that sound like a lost master tape from 1971 found in a Michigan basement.

It sounds like a classic rock radio station from 1973 just gained sentience and started a band.

A high-energy, unapologetic celebration of vintage rock power and youthful confidence.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The opening a cappella howl on Highway Tune that serves as a literal siren for the band's arrival.
The transition from delicate acoustic strumming to a swirling organ swell during the bridge of Flower Power.
The rhythmic interplay between the bass and the kick drum during the verses of Safari Song.
