GOLDEN SMOG Weird Tales hails from 2018 and is a SEALED 2LP set on colored vinyl (blackened UPC).  Weird Tales, the second album from alt-country supergroup Golden Smog, while in theory a collective banging of the guitars, basses, and drums of its principal players, is actually a series of solo tunes by those artists fleshed out by a backing band consisting of like-minded, and extremely capable, performers. That doesn't make it any less a fine- or well-intentioned album, it's just not the one-for-all, all-for-one group project that it's built up to be. Think of it as the White Album process: everyone (including members of Run Westy Run, , , , and ) gets a chance to toss a tune or two into the consolidated song bin and let the gang go at it. And as expected, the best songwriters here ( of the Jayhawks and Wilco's ) contribute Weird Tales' most solid tracks. A pet project aimed more toward fans of the genre than the casual listener, Golden Smog nonetheless deliver the goods with a good deal of twangy heart and soul.
