Limited Edition
The Head & the Habit [Red] Vinyl
The Head & the Habit is Greenleaf's ninth album and their sharpest, red vinyl and twenty-five years of Swedish fuzz behind it.
Greenleaf began in 2000 as a side project, something for friends already busy in Dozer, Lowrider, and Demon Cleaner to do purely for the pleasure of playing 1970s hard rock without anyone's expectations attached. Nobody planned on nine albums. Tommi Holappa's guitar has been the constant through all of it, and he remains one of European stoner rock's genuine architects, but the band only really settled when Arvid Hällagard joined as permanent vocalist for 2014's Trails & Passes. Classically trained, soulful, entirely uninterested in the genre's usual growl, he changed what Greenleaf could be.
What lifts this 2024 record above the pack is what Hällagard writes about. He works with people struggling with addiction and mental illness, and these songs read as symbolic short stories rather than the usual desert-and-doom clichés. A Wolf in My Mind is exactly as unsettling as its title, Avalanche builds a monstrous riff into something closer to panic, and The Tricking Tree stretches past eight minutes without ever losing the thread. Breathe, Breathe Out opens the album with fuzz thick enough to lean on.
Nine albums in, and they still sound like a band playing for fun.
