Track Premier: Cloud Cruiser - "King Couch"



It doesn't always feel like we have a lot to celebrate these days, with the world ending and all that is. However, today is 4.20.20, and not only that, but it's the first April 20th since recreational marijuana use became legal in Illinois! To celebrate, Chicago's deserty vibe rocking, dank herb (Motor)heads, Cloud Cruiser have dropped a new single, "King Couch." An electric shock wave of dry-heat lightening, where foggy grooves pull you along a starry strip of highway, that will slowly levitate you of terra firm, where you will find yourself drifting into a psychedelic stratosphere populated by cottony hooks and a sweet, lightly acidic melody. It's the perfect companion for escaping the confines of your living room on a consciousness-expanding escapade.

The single is debuting over on their Bandcamp page today and will get a physical release as part of HIGHly Recommended Chicago: Vol. 1: 6G, The Legalization through Shuga Records. The comp also features material from fellow smoke-wizards High Priests, as well as less metal oriented selections from other Chicago artists. Vinyl copies will be available for purchase once the whole COVID thing gets sorted out. In the meantime, you can light up in your preferred doomsday shelter of choice and grab a copy of Cloud Cruiser's new single here.
