Ex-Kyuss songwriter and one-time Screaming Trees guitarist Joshua Homme found himself at a junction, let Kyuss be his crowning moment or fight for a greater glory, Desert Sessions 1&2 was the first step towards the latter. Assembling a band of brilliant underdog musicians and piling into a recording studio no-where out in the scorched Californian desert, Homme did what none of his past bands allowed him to do, collaborate and experiment. Featuring the mental inflictions of Brant Bjork, Dave Catching, Pete Stahl, Fred Drake and other like minded souls, the album creates a world never visited before, a planet in a David Lynch universe ravaged by psychedelic storms.
