The Chaw.

Relentless and hypnotic. A force unstoppable, a sonic inevitability. Hungry, insatiable, damn-good rock ‘n roll cut from the very same granite of the Greats: Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Johnny Cash, Cream, and the Golden Era shaped by their peers. The Chaw. A wall of pulsating auditory energy, a rolling psychedelic groove undulating from a moonlit desert roadside tavern, a broken juke box in a haunted diner at the graveyard shift, the highway tide washed upon graffiti-sick concrete beneath an overpass. Three hands beckoning. Come on in. 

Build Them An Image

In 2019, the band entered the studio to record a new album titled Build Them An Image, which is due to release in 2022 and joins a portfolio of two other full-length albums, an EP and a soundtrack for an independent short film.


Build Them An Image’s ten gritty tracks emerge from life in the ever-expanding city of Oakland, simultaneously vast and claustrophobic, clinging to a vibrant optimism. With textures of highway hypnosis, concrete, and neon lights, the album adds a hazy, dystopian dream energy and volatility to the desert psych sounds from the previous albums.
