SLO BURN'S LOST DESERT CLASSIC RISES AGAIN
Amusing the Amazing emerges from the sands for Record Store Day 2025
1997 The year was 1997. Kyuss had just imploded, leaving a crater in the desert rock landscape and from its ashes, John Garcia found a new home in Slo Burn. Their debut EP, Amusing the Amazing, was a four-track molotov cocktail of fuzz, groove, and Garcia's signature snarl, co-produced with the legendary Chris Goss. A cult gem buried under the sands of time? Maybe. But for those who dug deep, it was pure gold.
FAST FORWARD TO RECORD STORE DAY 2025
Org Music is exhuming this beast for Black Friday 2025 - remastered and pressed on 12-inch vinyl for the first time: audio on one side, a custom etching on the other. Limited to 2,000 copies worldwide, because some things should stay rare, just like a Garcia howl in its natural habitat.
The US and UK get first dibs, but let's be real: this one's for the obsessives, the crate-diggers, the folks who still believe in the ritual of flipping wax.
WHY NOW? BECAUSE DESERT ROCK IS A RELIGION
Amusing the Amazing isn't just an EP - it's one of desert rock's lost scriptures. No hyperbole, just heavy riffs, hypnotic grooves, and that unmistakable Garcia swagger. Org Music's Andrew Rossiter calls it "an essential chapter," and for once, the hype isn't just PR fluff.
THE VERDICT: A PIECE OF HISTORY
If you're one of the lucky 2,000: cherish it. Play it loud. And maybe, just maybe, pretend it's 1997 all over again.
