Originally released in 2019, Stereophonic Freak Out Vol.1 was THE BLACK FURS' second album - a decidedly darker, more traditionally stoner-doomed affair. Just three years prior, they'd released their Doomed Blues debut full-length, which showed their true garage-rockin' side to its fullest, but the interim years - as well as the handful of short-lengths - must've been some hard ones, as what emerged on Stereophonic Freak Out Vol. 1 really, truly encapsulated their self-appointed "Death Blues" style: everything rumbled heavier than before, the doom got more DOOMED, songs stretched to much-more-STONED lengths, and the blues was palpable. Nevertheless, if this was THE BLACK FURS at their most conventionally stoner doom, then it still possessed the charisma and charm to elevate the band above a crowded scene.
