In “Moonstone Pipe Tomahawk”, the first of this release’s two tracks, Boar serve up seven minutes of lightly psychedelic stoner rock, shifting to sludgier material in the later half. With the central riff essentially carrying the entire song, the extra guitar frippery is totally unnecessary, but not unwelcome, and the drums get just a couple of breaks in which to shine. “Elder”, the second track, moves into more of a doom atmosphere, with lower pitching and background bass drones, riding a wild guitar solo back into stoner metal territory for the finish. Odd pacing and structuring, but still enjoyable.
