Song Recommendation: “Hot Stones” by Lazersleep (2025)

Prog/Psych rockers Lazersleep’s album from last summer, Gravity contains only four tracks but runs nearly an hour long, which should give you an idea of this band’s priorities. I’m recommending the shortest track here but don’t take it to mean the whole thing isn’t worth your time. I was kind of shocked to see that this is the group’s debut record as they sound so relaxed and lived in with their sound. “Hot Stones” starts with a tumbling beat that remains the driving force for the duration, spacy guitars quickly layer and build before, finally, ethereal vocals float in at the minute and a half mark. From here the song keeps its foot on the gas as it pulls you deeper and deeper into its swirling sonic morass.
