HOT STOVE LUNCH (Stephen Lynch), of Los Angeles, CA, created ‘Cold Rock on a Hot Hill’ between 2020-2025. The album comes to us as a breath of fresh air amidst former years of chaos and uncertainty. From mountain folk sounds to garage rock n’ roll, and every weird hum, haw, and breath in between, HOT STOVE LUNCH delivers a powerful statement without saying too much at all. Subtleties of familial love and loss, and divine spirits swirl through the 40 minute album, but takes you from A to B without having to hold your hand. You’re guided by trumpets and strings instead; a touch of beauty to a driving percussive wilderness. Reverbs soar throughout the record filled with harmonies and pitches you’re going to want to scream into your shower head. Don’t think too much about where you’re going, ‘Cold Rock on a Hot Hill’ will make you feel like you’re already there.
