German stoner-rockers Giant Lungs return with their second album Praise the Laze. Compared to their debut, the band adds darker psychedelic tones and grungier edges, giving their fuzzy stoner and desert rock more depth and emotion.
The album opens strong with Resonora, a heavy, swirling stoner-psych track with a hypnotic pull. Aces follows with a bluesy groove and confident vocal delivery, showing a more expressive side of the band. Dead Space Balloon dives into darker territory with eerie atmospheres, while Crabriders keeps things more upbeat and catchy, mixing power and playful lyrics.
Until the Sky Falls balances dreamy melodies with thick fuzz, and Death by Delay leans toward bittersweet moods reminiscent of the band’s earlier sound. The album closes with Tourists, an epic, multi-part track that shifts between psychedelic and doom-leaning passages.
Overall, Praise the Laze expands Giant Lungs’ sound without losing their core identity. It is darker, more adventurous, and emotionally richer, while still delivering strong riffs and memorable hooks.
