Awkward Hearts

This is a great track off Samothrace's first album, "Life's Trade." These guys originated in Lawrence, although they ended up relocating to Seattle eventually, as have at least a couple of other homegrown metal acts from the Lawrence/KC area. I suppose that I can't blame them. They're probably my favorite band (originally) from Kansas, and a couple of them have always been friendly and talked to me at shows. That Midwestern friendliness is unparalleled. Anyway, these guys have put out a couple of excellent albums of stoner/doom metal, occasionally get a bit sludgy, but not overmuch. Highly recommended for when you want to hear something heavy but also chill out, if that makes sense.
