Brant Bjork’s 2019 set at Rockpalast is exactly what the founding figure of stoner rock sounds like when he’s fully in his element. A former member of Kyuss and one of the architects of the California desert rock sound, Bjork delivered a performance built on sludgy guitar riffs, warm basslines, and gravelly vocals, drawing heavily from ‘Mankind Woman’ in a stripped-down set that let the music do all the talking. The footage captures the almost meditative groove of the show in sharp visuals and warm audio, a fitting document of one of underground rock’s most authentic voices on one of its most storied stages.
