Il successo planetario dei Queens Of The Stone Age di Josh Homme è bene saperlo è figlio dell'esperienza del chitarrista nei Kyuss, icone e maestri dello stoner-rock, scioltisi nel 1997. Da quello split nacque per mano del cantante John Garcia questo progetto Slo Burn. E la sorte fu decisamente meno benigna. Ci è stato lasciato questo unico ep di quattro brani, preludio ad un velocissimo scioglimento che diede vita agli Unida, gruppo interessante ma capace di un solo album ricordato da pochi, prima che il buon Garcia continuasse la sua storia immersa nella polvere del rock con band come Vista Chino ed Hermano. Tra un muro di suono compattissimo tipico dello stoner e pochi stacchi di chitarre in assolo sentiamo come in lontananza la voce del frontman quasi disperdersi, come se con quella musica stessimo guidando una fuoriserie a paletta e avessimo un compagno di viaggio che sta cantando nel sedile posteriore. Un effetto comunque gradevole e sufficientemente "stonato" da farti entrare nel mood giusto, il tutto condito dalla perla "Pilot The Dune" che ci fa ricordare che bella cosa erano i Kyuss..

04 July (00:00)
So lay your dead
In our time rhyme
When it heat's on you.
And then you stand
With flowers dead,
I'm in your head.
Am I rain?
You can not say it,
July!
July!
If you try to be raised in pain,
It's an all-time high.
And I've cried the blocked out train,
We have no desire.
In the blink of a solid flame,
I can wash that pain aside.
And we know we're insane.
I'm coming right up riot.
July (ooh,)
July (ooh,)
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Do you want it,
You need it,
You steal it,
Well, just to be there?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Do you want it,
You need it,
You steal it,
Just to be there?
Ah...
Now we live by the hope of the trade,
It's a fade-out scene.
Under sun cause the black your shade.
This is all I see.
As the contract spreads to dream
Solid heat will find it clean.
So the end of the ride is today.
Well, I fought the land cause today it's...
July! (Midnight above my ranch.)
Oh (She's a goner).
July! (She said, hold on; you got my life.)
Oh, oh. (What I want,)
July! (I said, you want my God.)
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Do you want it,
You need it,
You steal it,
Well just to be there?
