Redwood is the brainchild of Sheafer McComber, a Northern California native who has been churning out heavy psych and stoner riffs with a relentless work ethic. Following the momentum of the 2025 release "Cloud Colony", Redwood didn't waste any time getting back into the studio to cook up more cosmic noise. This project has always been about that intersection where the desert sun meets the deep reaches of space, blending a massive low-end with enough fuzz to coat a mountain.

Look, if you want something to vibrate the loose screws in your skull, "Time To Lose" delivers exactly that. It's a trip through the Northern California redwoods and straight out of the atmosphere. The riffs are thick and hairy, sitting right in that sweet spot between a slow-motion avalanche and a fever dream. The production isn't some over-sanitized plastic garbage; it sounds like a real amp being pushed to the edge of a total meltdown, which is how this music should be played.

There are some legit surprises on this one that’ll catch you off guard. "Highway Is My Way" is a total bruiser, switching up the vocal delivery to something much meaner than what we usually hear from Redwood. It’s got a jagged, aggressive edge that provides a nice kick to the ribs. On the other side of the coin, "Titan" leans hard into the synth pedals. It creates this floating, hallucinatory vibe that makes you feel like you're drifting through a nebula before the final hammer drops.

The massive finale "Blue Mass" is where everything culminates into a massive, 11-minute journey. It’s a huge, expansive track that demands your attention, pulling together all the fuzzy textures and cosmic energy McComber has been building. This album shows a lot of growth without losing the heavy-as-lead foundation. It’s a strong addition to the collection for anyone who lives for the riff.

Score: 7.5
