Patrón

Patrón (pronounced with a spanish accent and an « r » that rolls under the tongue like a jelly bean soaked in lysergic acid) could be the premonitory soundtrack to Roberto Rodriguez’s next feature film, if it were set in a post-apocalyptic and degenerative Las Vegas where the only chance of salvation would be Barry White’s resurrection.

The guitars are saturated with fuzz, the bass and drums are heavy and fat. The voice is warm and velvety, and hypnotizes like a snake charmer.

The album was produced by Alain Johannes (Eleven, Them Crooked Vultures, Chris Cornell Band) and also happens to be the last album ever recorded in his legendary studio 11AD, in Los Angeles. To play on the album, Patrón invited friends and not the least: Joey Castillo (Danzig, Queens of the Stone Age, The Bronx…), Nick Oliveri (Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Mondo Generator), Barrett Martin (Mad Season, Screaming Trees, Tuatara…), Monique St Walker (Blackbird Days) and others…

Patrón is a powerful but sexy rock, heady melodies that will stick to your skin like a thirsty alcoholic tick.
