LEE VAN CLEEF - Holy Smoke (WHD 007)

by White Dwarf

supported by

stone beats seriously some of the heaviest psychedelic, stoner rock I've heard. the whole LP rips from start to finish but the first track, Heckle Yuppies, really sets the tone and it just goes from there. If you love early Dead Meadow stuff you'll love this. Seriously, sit back, light one or a few up, play it loud and enjoy the fuck outta this LP. Favorite track: Heckle Yuppies.

wagui Lyrics?! We don't need no stinkin' lyrics

The project LEE VAN CLEEF was born as a joke at the end of 2015 and is the result of long jam sessions between Marco Adamo, guitarist (La polvere di Bodélé), Guido Minervini, drum (Efesto, Lamarck) and Pietro La Tegola, bass (Whiskeycold Winter). Influenced by bands like Earthless, Black Bombaim, Harsh Toke (to name a few) The first work "Holy Smoke" was recorded mixed and mastered in the Godfather studio of Naples. The artwork was done by Robin Gnista.

Reviews:

"When I read the press release with its mention of Earthless, Black Bombain etc I'll admit to bit a bit skeptical - those are big names to throw around. However, on listening it soon became evident that these guys know how to rock! The musicianship is superb and the sound they create is huge. They have taken the general structure of heavy psych and jammed around the theme to create a monster of a record. I think that Lee Van Cleef can be added to the roster of the best acid bands around."
Dayz Of Purple And Orange

"Clearly influenced by bands like Earthless, Black Bombaim, and Electric Moon the three musician have clearly clicked in a serious way to have produced an album that is worthy of comparison to these three terrific bands. The music has that marvellous balance of tightness and improvisation that mark out bands who stand out in the stoner/ space rock bandlands; an area that can be littered with all sorts of debris that often means you cannot see the planets from the asteroids. Fee Lee Van Cleef, however, come through like a gas giant…heavy, fluid and impossible to overlook."
Psych Insight Music

"Lee Van Cleef presents us with the very essence of heavy psych instrumental bands: endless jamming that leads to psychedelic tripping and a sonic escapism!"
