Background information about 'First Communion'
Some bands arrive fully formed. Others have to earn their thunder, and "First Communion" is the sound of Stoned Jesus earning every last volt of it. This is the Ukrainian trio's debut long-player, a record that walks into the room with muddy boots, plugs in, and lets the amps do the talking. The riffs are fat and unhurried, the grooves swing with a loose, sweaty swagger, and the vocals sit somewhere between a sermon and a shrug. It is heavy, but never heavy-handed — the kind of record that sounds like it was recorded in a basement because that is exactly where this stuff belongs.
What makes it stick is the songwriting. "Occult" opens the gates with a slow, deliberate crawl before the fuzz kicks in, and by the time "Black Woods" rolls around you can practically smell the pine and the smoke. "Red Wine" is the centrepiece, a woozy, hypnotic trip that stretches out and refuses to rush, and "Falling Apart" closes the set with a bruised, bleary-eyed grace. The bonus 2011 version of "Red Wine" is a fascinating look at how the song grew into its final shape — a rough sketch next to the finished painting. Nothing here feels padded or polite. It is a band figuring out who they are in real time, and that rawness is the whole charm.
