Sheep Fiends - The Hazy Years

The Sheep Fiends greet 2025 with ten all-original tracks about human motivation (or a lack thereof) on their new album "The Hazy Years".

We find ourselves lost in an endless number of agendas. Medical confusion and plumbing advice. Paranoia and obliviousness. Mystery and civility. Selfishness and codependency. Finding the light. Finding your family. Accepting your thingamabob.

We know you can do it.

Notes

You are looking at a nine-person improv machine this time around with sonic contributions from Mark Armantrout, Brian Cameron, Scott Johnson, David Ladd, Paul McLennon, Brian McNally, Brendan Rowland, Scratch and Aaron Zygmunt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- All tracks mixed by Brian Cameron or Scratch Notable Tracks: Track 01 - Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (Sheep Fiends) - An uplifting tale of finding personal strength kicks off The Hazy Years. As long as you double-check under the bed of course...and examine the closet! [Scratch on Bass] Track 03 - Hazy Year #3 & #4 (Sheep Fiends) - This seems pretty inspired to my ears - but could you truly relate the tedium of the early 2020's in some way other than a 14-minute psychedelic shuffle down the road of time? I think not. Cool guitaring, thick effects, and a solid hippie groove underneath it all that keeps you guessing (and trying to remember something...now, what was it again???).
