Review by Daisy

Telekinetic Yeti’s Abominable: A Stoner Rock Odyssey That Packs a Punch In 2017, Iowa-based duo Telekinetic Yeti unleashed their debut album Abominable, a thunderous collision of stoner rock and doom metal that feels like being caught in an avalanche of sound. Self-released under Not On Label with support from Sump Pump Records, this record doesn’t just sit comfortably within its genres—it stomps all over them. With Alex Baumann handling guitars and vocals while Anthony Dreyer crushes the drums, the pair creates something raw, heavy, and unapologetically fun. Let’s dive into two standout tracks that’ll stick with you long after the needle lifts off the vinyl (or your streaming app stops playing). First up is “Lightbearer,” which opens with a riff so thick it could double as molasses. It grooves hard but never loses sight of its doom roots, building tension before exploding into Baumann’s gravelly howls. The interplay between Baumann’s guitar work and Dreyer’s drumming here is hypnotic—equal parts headbang-worthy and meditative. You can practically smell the incense burning as the track unfolds. Then there’s “Stoned and Feathered,” a song whose title alone tells you exactly what to expect—a fuzzy, psychedelic joyride through riffs so massive they might collapse your eardrums. This one lingers because of its swagger; it’s got this laid-back confidence that makes you wanna grab a beer, crank the volume, and let the world melt away. There’s also a sneaky little breakdown midway that catches you off guard, reminding you why these guys are masters at crafting heaviness with soul. Production-wise, Luke Tweedy deserves a shoutout for mixing the hell out of this thing, and Carl Saff brings some serious magic on mastering and lacquer cutting duties. The artwork by Headbang Design? Perfectly matches the vibe: gritty, surreal, and larger than life. What really sets Abominable apart isn’t just its technical chops or genre-blurring style—it’s the sheer personality dripping from every note. Telekinetic Yeti doesn’t reinvent the wheel here, but they sure as hell make it roll faster and louder than most bands dare to try. Listening to this album feels less like hearing music and more like experiencing a force of nature. And honestly? If Bigfoot were real, I reckon he’d be blasting this album while roaming the woods. Who knew abominable could sound so damn good?

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Abominable* by Telekinetic Yeti is a raw, heavy masterpiece that blends Stoner Rock and Doom Metal into one crushing experience. Released in 2017, it was self-released by the band before Sump Pump Records jumped on board. What’s wild is how tight the team behind it was—just two guys, Alex Baumann (guitar and vocals) and Anthony Dreyer (drums), created this sonic beast. They recorded it with Luke Tweedy, who also mixed it, while Carl Saff handled mastering and even cut the lacquer. Oh, and those riffs? Absolutely massive. Tracks like "Beneath the Black Sun" and "Stoned and Feathered" show why this Iowa duo has become a cult favorite in the metal scene.
