Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

Big stuff in the air tonite. Just a wickeddd bralove RHYTHMN DEVILZ. Reminds me of the climactic "light bridge" segment of 2001.super punishing pindrop into post-bop plink, flirts with tonality while keeping that spooky unknown constellation
