This is music that moved these guys (and many of the rockers who formed the foundation of Seattle’s early-’90s grunge explosion) every bit as much as punk rock in their formative years.

The problem with conspiracy theory is to believe that there is one particular group of human beings who are in control of my destiny.

The weakness of conspiracy theory is that human nature is to fuck up.

Wellwater Conspiracy is fronted by Matt Cameron (Soundgarden's drummer, currently of Pearl Jam) and John McBain (Monster Magnet), so this disc will likely garner a fair amount of attention.
Even cooler is that it's not because the pair, along with keyboard player Glenn Slater, have churned out a solid remake of another band's music.
Instead, they have created something strange and utterly engaging that is best compared to the drugged desert rock of Queens of the Stone Age.
