Brant Bjork has been at the heart of Californian desert rock for over a quarter - century. He honed his skills as a drummer and composer on the early, legendary albums of Kyuss and drove the iconic fuzz sound of Fu Manchu from 1994 to 2001. In 2024, the Brant Bjork Trio, featuring Mario Lalli, an old friend and a key figure in desert rock (from Yawning Man, Fatso Jetson, Desert Sessions) on bass guitar, and Ryan Güt, an alumnus of the Brant Bjork band on drums, is launching a game - changing full - length LP on Brant's newly relaunched DUNA RECORDS label. The new album, 'Once Upon A Time In The Desert', is born from the long - standing collaborative bond between Bjork, Lalli, and Güt. The power trio recorded the tracks at Donner & Blitzen studios in Southern California with Mathias Shneeberger, a long - time collaborator. The music they create is a heavy, flowing groove, a true expression of organic desert rock & roll. These veteran musicians helped shape the genre, and this record captures the pure, heavy, and grooving essence of So Cal desert blues. Track Listing: 1. U.R. Free 2. Backin’ The Daze 3.
