Brant Bjork ‎– Local Angel - LP

It’s time to wipe off some dust from this little gem from the Italian Stoner Rock underground, for too long disappeared from the radars.

ZIPPO debut album ‘Ode To Maximum’ was recorded in October 2005, exactly 13 years ago, and came out self-released in early 2006, suddenly received with sheer enthusiasm by the heavy music press unanimously.

This release comes out with a pachydermic new artwork by Davide Mancini / DARTWORKS, re-mastered by Tony Reed (Mos Generator, Stone Axe) and featuring two bonus tracks.

RELEASE DATE 02.11.2018

‘Dave’s Dungeon’ boldly follows Avon’s first LP ‘Mad Marco’ with a marked progression, rawness, defiance and certainly packs a punch!
Feat. Alfredo Hernandex (Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age) on drums. 

The album was recorded in Joshua Tree, California, USA, before Christmas 2006. The 8-track album is a mix of old and new tracks. “Some days I just like to sit outside under the sun with my guitar and sing my songs to myself. It relaxes me. It also reminds me of what my songs are about. ...went to Tony's house when I got back to the desert last October...put up a mic and rolled tape. It took 3 days to make this recording...so we naturally called it Tres Dias. Dig it.”
