The essence of feeling stoned, musically-speaking. While careening wildly through favorite ambient releases this morning, none stack up quite like this J track by uon on West Mineral. Liquid, fluid, morphing synths diving over each other like molten lava reshaping the mountain side of an active volcano. The deep, cavernous, contorting bassline ignites your brain and rearranges it like malleable pieces to a jigsaw puzzle that makes perfect sense (if you stare at it long enough). Did I mention this song feels like you’re high? I did? When? Pass the Fritos Scoops and french onion dip and roll another one, dude.
