Strategem

Big Head Todd and the Monsters

Recorded in an empty Boulder theater, this record trades radio polish for murky, spiritual blues-rock. A moody, atmospheric pivot toward the shadows.

It's like a blues-rock séance held in an empty mountain theater.

A murky, spiritual exploration that feels like a cold mountain sunset.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the cavernous drum snap and gritty guitar slide that opens Kensington Line
the way the vocals drift into a hazy spiritual chant during the bridge of Strategem
the final minute of Shadowlands where the guitar dissolves into a long mountain echo
