Sleeping Villager ​Gramma Vedetta’s latest offering is a short lil’ platter of trademark Sabbathian fare—albeit with a decidedly more sci-fi edge than we have previously seen and heard. The four tracks here wear their influences on their sleeves, never striving to break the mold…but that’s kind of the point. If you’re into fun-lovin’ stoner rock, you’ll undoubtedly enjoy this EP! Favorite track: Porthole.

Dave K (Civil War) It's hard to pick a favourite from this EP - dark, polished, energetic and well though out. As a friend of the band, it has been great hearing these songs develop, and to hear their sound grow and evolve. Favorite track: A Lucid Dream (Lockdown Blues).

Unique High Fidelity The rockers from Gramma Vedetta are back with a brand new, home-brewed EP! Band finds its musical path and they sound incredibility well. Songwriting has further evolved, continuing to explore new territories and concepts, while maintaining the sweet balance of vintage stoner rock and the relatively more modern influences. Definitely looking forward for the band's full-length debut!

Andy K. Missed this when it came out back in July somehow. Sure em damn glad I found it now. This is just my style. I love music when it moves me like this.

aliceislistening This song is the quintessence of beauty. It is suffered, romantic and raw. If you like music done well, Gramma Vedetta are made for you. In this album you can appreciate their stoner imprint although they go far beyond. They manage to uniquely incorporate various musical influences in an original and intriguing way. If, like me, you love heavy rock they are unmissable, even more if you grew up with prog-rock, metal and grunge. Favorite track: A Lucid Dream (Lockdown Blues).

Hang up my Boots Woke up this morning Weak as a butterfly. I’m feeling good at nothing I’ve got no fire. I didn't see all the warnings. never followed the advice. I’ve never been the king of the land. No matter how hard I’ve tried. It’s time to wave my hand and say goodbye. Once and for all I’ll hang up my boots. There’s no parachute in my business suit. It’s time to sing you my last lullaby. I see all those creatures they keep visiting my dreams. they're yelling something's wrong with me, with my bloodstream. My discomfort is pouring. Let me play their songs. I’m ready for the glory. There’s nothing wrong. It’s time to wave my hand and say goodbye. Once and for all I’ll hang up my boots. No need of a parachute in this thick spacesuit. It’s time to sing you my last lullaby. I set the course to Gemini I’ll paint a black dot on that wall...

Porthole 04:01
Porthole I was thinking will it be in vain? While I'm dreaming They'll scan my brain. Saw the doctor. "Take these pills and close your eyes". The nightmare will get real. Searching for demons in this den. They saved my day. A smile on my face. My mind is going backwards. Six hundred days. Through the wormhole open towards my brain. I've reached the answers I'll embrace the game. I'll be the demon in this den. I'll be the demon in this den. I'll be the demon in this den. I am the demon.

Hey you, Are you looking for me? A lucid dream Of an empty town I look around They are watching me Like a movie scene ‘til the curtain has come down. Thanks for staying with me. Sounds and lights I miss the smell of the wet ground I’ll take care of you You’ll take care of me We are all we need in this lockdown Thanks for listening to this Thanks for joining me In my lucid dream I’ll keep you all with me

about

A.C.I.D Compliant is a 4-tracks little gem that broadens the sound of our previous release and adds a stronger sci-fi atmosphere to music and artworks.
You'll find inside all you need to have a proper music journey: fast fuzz riffage, loud amps, echoes of slow and clean guitars and spacey blues.

It is an 'ad interim' release before we will be able to go back in studio and record the full length.

We recorded, mixed and mastered the album following a true DIY approach because we're nerds.
