BIOGRAPHY
From out of the chaos emerges Los Toms, a psychedelic desert fuzz trio from Fort Collins, Colorado. Oscillating between surreal psychedelia and heavy psychrock, the band is dynamic, punchy, and provocative. Spanish and English lyrics intertwine across a patchwork of driving bass and post-rock fury. A musical collective focused on live-performance, Los Toms are said to appear unto the well-initiated acolytes across the American West
Formed in 2017 with their origins in late-night, heavy jam sessions in a poorly-wired, abandoned airplane hangar, Los Toms sank their teeth into psychedelia with The Sticker EP (2019), best characterized by the song “Ziggurat”. This early era is lo-fi, guitar drenched in reverb and digital delay. Lyrics appear more as sporadic, hypnotic chants, punctuating the band’s grooving rhythm section.
The band returned in 2020 with a new drummer and a new aggressive sound, Los Toms attacked the heavy side of psychrock. Inspired by bands like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and Thee Oh Sees, the trio cranked the fuzz pedals and let it rip. A hazy and improvised, two-day jam produced the raw, unbridled Centipede Sessions, a four-track, (mostly) instrumental album. Themes of duality and impermanence are unconsciously explored on “Sciencefish”, for which the band appeared in their first music video.
These themes of duality were explored deeper in the band’s 2021 album Totem. A sort of heads-and-tails record, it opens with a psychedelic advent as progressively heavier desert riffs build into “Black Magick Sludge Mage” – a final, cacophonic sludge doom anthem. The tail of the record snakes forth from the heavy, fuzzed out rubble. A pair of psychedelic odysseys saturated with ambient synthesizers, the layered guitar work swaddles the tracks (“Baphomet” and the aptly-named “Psychedelic Standoff”) in hypnotic furs.
Plans are in motion for the release of a fourth album, Tube Theory, in 2024 – a milestone representative of the evolving and maturing style of Los Toms. With a quicker, more deliberate approach to songwriting, these long-awaited tracks have become the staple core of live performances. The band continues to present new material, taking inspiration from modern psychedelic rock outfits like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Weeed, and Kikagaku Moyo, as well as from progenitors like Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd.
