Up on the Sun

Meat Puppets

Sun-drenched psychedelia meeting technical post-punk precision. A shimmering, clean-toned record that captures the hazy heat and vastness of the Arizona desert.

A bright, hallucinogenic clarity that feels both grounded in the earth and floating in the ether.

Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's opening guitar figure that feels like light refracting through a prism.
The intricate, almost telepathic interplay between the bass and guitar on Maiden's Milk.
The surreal, whimsical shift into the frantic but controlled energy of Buckethead.
