Bio:

Brant Bjork (born March 19, 1973) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer from Palm Desert, California. He is perhaps best known as the drummer and founder of the influential Californian stoner rock band Kyuss. Bjork played in Vista Chino, along with former Kyuss vocalist John Garcia. Until October 2014 when Nick Oliveri announced that there was a falling out and that Bjork and Garcia would continue working on their solo projects.He is one of the more notable figures in the stoner rock and Palm Desert scenes.Bjork began recording his first solo album, 1999's Jalamanta, in February of that year. Bjork performed all instruments, including guitar and vocals. He would also perform guitar and vocals in the short-lived stoner rock band Ché – a side-project collaboration with former Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age drummer Alfredo Hernández. Ché released their only album, Sounds of Liberation, in October 2000. Bjork's next album, 2002's Brant Bjork & the Operators, named for Bjork's fictional backing band, 'the Operators', was recorded in November 2000 with Bjork again performing vocals and most instruments. He would continue to be the sole performer, except for a few guest spots, on 2003's Keep Your Cool and 2004's Local Angel.Bjork would form the band Brant Bjork and the Bros in 2003, featuring guitarist Mike Pygmie, bassist Dylan Roche, and drummer Michael Peffer, with Bjork performing vocals and additional guitar. They toured Europe in October 2003, performing a mixture of Bjork's solo material and Ché's Sounds of Liberation. Pygmie was replaced by Scott Cortez Silverman for further touring in Europe and North America in 2004.This line-up went on to record the 2005 double album Saved by Magic. The album featured a return to the sound of Bjork's earlier sound from his Jalamanta/Sounds of Liberation era.2006 saw the release of Sabbia, a feature film "visual soundtrack" by filmmaker Kate McCabe, featuring Bjork's music.Brant Bjork and the Bros would go on to record another album, 2007's Somera Sól, with Alfredo Hernández replacing Michael Peffer on drums. In the same year, Bjork released his fifth solo album, Tres Dias, an acoustic album featuring reinterpretations of older songs, as well as some new material. The title of the album (Three Days) comes from the purported amount of time that Bjork claimed it took to record it at producer Tony Mason's house in Joshua Tree, California.Bjork reported in 2007 that he had ended his label, Duna Records, citing that it took too much time and energy to run.Bjork soon created a new label, Low Desert Punk Recordings, and the Duna Records website now functions as a Brant Bjork community fansite and forum.The first release on the new label was Bjork's 2008 album, Punk Rock Guilt, made up of recordings from December 2005 referred to as the "New Jersey Sessions". This release was followed up with the 2010 album Gods & Goddesses. Recorded in LA in 2009, Gods & Goddesses was the first Brant Bjork solo album not to be primarily recorded by Bjork himself. Instead, Bjork recorded with a new line-up of musicians including guitarist Brandon Henderson, former Yawning Man bassist Billy Cordell, and former Mondo Generator drummer Giampaolo Farnedi.A new solo record entitled Jacuzzi has been recorded and mixed. Jacuzzi will be an instrumental album, featuring jazz and funk influences with break beats.Originally planned for release in 2013, it has been delayed for undisclosed reasons. A new release date is yet to be announced.In March 2014, Bjork announced that he would tour Australia in May with his backing band, the 'Low Desert Punks', consisting of bassist Dave Dinsmore, guitarist Bubba Dupree, and Tony Tornay on drums.He would later announce a New Zealand tour with dates in June.

Album:

Brant Bjork will release his new album, "Tao Of The Devil", on September 30 via Napalm Records. The CD is said to be "more focused" than its predecessor, 2014's "Black Power Flower", and boasts a more song-oriented and groovy stoner sound, with a healthy dose of '70s-style greatness.As the founder of KYUSS, the singer, guitarist and drummer might be the ultimate icon the desert rock scene has to offer — but despite all this praise and worship, Brant's only concern rests in supplying the planet with unpretentious laid-back rock, adorned with hefty jam-outs. Throughout “Tao of the Devil,” Brant has gone and mixed all of his solo efforts together with a few firm shots of tequila. The result of which is an album that’s as welcoming as a cold glass of margarita on a hot summer day. There’s plenty of that “Jalamanta” haze, which is really nice to have back, but the tunes here are mostly a throwback to Brant’s time flinging licks with The Bros. Naturally, there’s some Santana and Hendrix swing felt throughout, and like these idols, Brant confirms on "Tao of the Devil” that he isn’t only a songwriter but also a master of groove.On this, Brant’s tenth solo album, he’s brought along some heavy hitters for the ride. There’s Dave Dinsmore to handle the low-hanging four-string, Bubba DuPree checked in on the fuzzy six string, and the young gun Ryan Gut keeps a heady beat with his open handed delivery behind the kit. This is by far Brant’s best backing band since the days he traveled the world with Cortez, Cordell, and Peffer.With an underlying message of love, peace, and harmony, “Tao of the Devil” is just what you’d want from a Brant Bjork album. This Low Desert Punk has always been about vibe, and on this album he serves it up in spades. A cut like “Luvin,” for example, keeps things snappy with its stop and go fuzz riffing. The riffs talk back to Gut’s command of the snare, and eventually even a tambourine during the song’s second chorus. Here Brant sings “keep on lovin’ like your day is done” as a call to arms for those listening in. Brant wants us to stop our bullshit and get down to some good times. This message pops up in “Stackt,” too, though in this cut the lyrics are packaged in the down and very dirty low end, which is so, so good.But as the album’s title suggests, these tracks aren’t all good times and high fives. There’s an overwhelming sense of the blues on these 7 tracks/ 37 minutes, too. Brant doesn’t even try to hide the sadness or despair this time around, staking claim in the title track that he’s “got the blues right down to his bones.” In “Dave’s War,” the band’s attack is at its hardest – though I dare you to refrain from snapping your fingers to the beat – while Brant spews tales of running low on things he loves. A lyrically heavy concept, sure, but it’s a side of Brant that also needs to be shown.In short, “Tao of the Devil” isn’t much different than Brant’s other albums in that it’s both a look back and a step forward. And like his other solo albums, this one can stand alone as a prime example of what Brant Bjork does best. He is able to sum up the good life, let us know that it’s all good, and as long as we keep our cool, we’ll be fine. Brant’s a wise man with many stories to tell and luckily those of us hanging out in the heavy underground love to hear these stories told.
