Vista Chino have named their upcoming new album, Peace. The band have completed work on the new album, and have revealed the artwork, created by California art collective, The Date Farmers.
Drummer Brant Bjork commented about working with The Date Farmers: "The Date Farmers are native to the desert where we are from. It is an honor to work together with such prolific artists!"
Napalm Records and Vista Chino recently debuted the first song from the upcoming full-length album. The song, entitled 'Dargona, Dragona' is available as an exclusive stream on the Vista Chino Facebook page (link below). When visiting the page, clicking the “like” button will enable the audio.
Rising from the desert sands that birthed Kyuss Lives, Vista Chino’s sound is instantly familiar. With the trademark soulful vocals of John Garcia, the songwriting and production of Brant Bjork (drums) and the fuzz-laden riffage of imported guitarist Bruno Fevery, Vista Chino’s debut is one of the year’s most anticipated heavy rock albums. A new band born of a storied past, right now it’s about these players playing these songs.
