A “new single” from “Kyuss” that’s nothing of the sort

It’s popped up on YouTube and Spotify, and I got all excited, but apparently it’s fake.

About That Fake New KYUSS Song Making the Rounds...

…It’s fake and it sucks. That’s pretty much what there is to say about it. I’ve seen a couple people this morning post about what alleges itself as a new Kyuss song — it would be the first from the desert rock progenitors since their Man’s Ruin Records split passed the torch to Queens of […]

There was a "rare unreleased beatles track" floating around a few years ago " Don Quijote's Marijuana" which I quite liked at the time.

Oh. Kyuss were great of course. Is this some AI shit? Not read article yet.

Doesn't even sound like them. I gave it 10s.

Apparently. I haven’t listened, as I realised how unlikely a new song was, so went off to see if it was a re-release. It wasn’t a song title I recognised, but I thought maybe it was some rare track I hadn’t come across.

Turns out it’s some kind of AI thing, and not even good. So I haven’t bothered listening.

I never really got the appeal. And I've really tried because a lot of people whose music taste I respect rated them, but they just did nothing for me compared to other rock/metal bands of the era.

The fake new one doesn't sound anything like them either.

Yeah, it sounds like metal but not Kyus. Too heavy muted power chord chugging and the double kick stuff. That's not really the Kyus sound.

It was Gardenia on Welcome to Sky Valley that got me in to them. Just that big rumble of sound. Like a big slow truck driving at you but in a good way.

Supposedly flooding Spotify with AI music and then getting bots to listen to it is a money maker...though illegal

Man Charged With $10 Million Streaming Music Scam Using AI-Generated Songs

In a case being calling a first, a musician has been charged with fraudulently inflating streams on services such as Spotify and Apple Music to collect huge royalties.

"Titles of the fake songs taken from an alphabetized list included Zygotic Lanie, Zygotic Washstands and Zyme Bedewing, while fake artists got names like Calliope Bloom, Callous Humane and Calvinistic Dust."

i really love this kind of output...

its pretty amazing next level Warp records AV stuff, especially the video....but the fact it costs several tens of billions of dollars and has a carbon footprint the size of south america does take the sheen off a bit

Yup, big fan of 90s stoner rock. Was a grunger, loved Screaming Trees, Sleep, and indeed Ozzy era Sabbath, especially Master of Reality. So all the palm desert scene stuff. Still follow QOTSA, Brant Björk, Hermano, Stöner, Fu Manchu (all of whom have stuff out this year) etc.

That punk/doom/indie/alt rock/sludge melting pot is very attractive to me.
