Yerba Mansa is the duo of guitarist Edwin Stevens and drummer Andrew Cheetham, and their 2024 Cardinal Fuzz release Gravity's Joke is a ferocious statement of intent. Stevens' guitar work draws comparisons to avant-garde legends like Sonny Sharrock, conjuring raw, untamed sonic textures, while Cheetham's jazz-rooted drumming provides a fluid yet explosive foundation beneath the chaos.
What makes Gravity's Joke truly remarkable is its side-long title track — a near 20-minute mystical freakout that builds relentlessly toward a shamanic climax, somehow maintaining its shape even as it threatens to fly apart at the seams. The duo's chemistry is undeniable, weaving demonic raga meltdowns and apocalyptic jams that feel less like composed music and more like a ritual being performed in real time. This is essential listening for fans of untamed, boundary-pushing rock.
