""The Call" is a dark and burning stoner album reminding us that Mudweiser has nothing left to prove, master of the big riff heated by the sun of the great American spaces."

A band that chooses to call itself Mudweiser can't really be bad. Two EPs and three rounds have seen them shape a gruff rock that smells as much under the arms as smuggled whiskey. A bit lazy, the guys are never in a hurry letting an average of four (too) long years go by between each album.
But we never hold it against them because the orgasm points to the end of its sting each time. Mudweiser is not the kind of band that change a recipe that works, faithful to a simple and raw stoner in the warm and oily American tradition. And it is not "The Call" which will make lie the solid reputation of our lumberjacks from France. On the program, eight tracks in a set of less than forty minutes without embellishment but without flaw.
Once again, the quartet does not give up its snarled energy, offering a rough and dry definition of stoner far from the flower vans and water pipes. It's nasty, nervous and raw. Direct as usual, Mudweiser does not privilege less this time the heavy wiggles which coat ambiences of a black bitterness, what testify a fast and angry 'Blasted Forever' or a 'The Hunt' shaken by a seismic bass. And what can we say about the final 'Sad Man', unhealthy, suffocating and irrigated by a lumpy melancholy.
In short, if it still makes you want to stamp your feet frantically, Mudweiser tightens the handbrake more than usual, which no one will complain about, making "The Call" a dark and burning stoner album, nasty and vitiated. - Official website
