[CLEAN AND SOBER STONER] My Top 13 Stoner/Doom and Heavy Metal albums for July

Iress is feeding my obsession with shoe-gazy and hazy guitars with evocative vocals that make the whole room shimmer. Sleep Now, In Reverse may seem like an oddball selection, but every now and then heavy can be more of a thick quilt than a jackhammer to the temples. Iress has beautifully heavy moments interspersed with undulating waves of tenderness. Put this on at 3 AM after a Lamb of God concert or something, and you’ll feel what I mean while you chill your badass bones.
