Talc covers “Steel Dreams” by Alligator Demented

To touch bottom, this is what paradoxically allowed Steve Rash and his Alligators to accept themselves as they really were: highly perceptive beings as opposed to identifying with the oblivious grunge movement. Talc understands this well by illuminating the typically stoner notes of "Steel Dreams" with understated guitar virtuosos. Like Spain or Sun Kil Moon, everything here is subtle, meticulous, right up to the repetition of the motive that bewitches.
