#NewMusicMonday – Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard & Slomatics

I’ve been on annual leave this week, so like any good nerd I’ve spent all of my free time learning a new programming language. I do struggle sometimes where I can’t seem to concentrate on writing code, or at least well-documented code, if there’s a plain, easy to understand English speaking voice playing in the same room. I find I’m just too easily distracted. I therefore love music that I can let wash over me, like instrumental tracks and foreign-language punk and metal.

I saw someone on social media this week recommend the split-EP by Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard & Slomatics, TOTEMS. I’ve never listened to much Doom or Sludge Metal, but the tracks from both of these bands certainly seem to fit my “wash over me” criteria, particularly when listened to with a large set of over-ear headphones. As well as that split-EP, for this week’s #NewMusicMonday I’ve included an album each from Slomatics and Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard.
