Infinite Walrus: Weekend Playlist by Book of Wyrms

by | Apr 5, 2019 | MUSIC

Every Friday night, RVA Mag drops one scorcher of a playlist curated by Virginia’s most influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This time around we’re getting jams from an excellent local purveyor of dusted psychedelic grooves. Book Of Wyrms released their debut LP, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, a couple of years ago, and they’re currently gearing up to drop a full-length followup. Entitled Remythologizer, it’ll be out this summer on Twin Earth Records; the first single, “Spirit Drifter,” dropped earlier this week.

Their playlist shows that Book Of Wyrms know how long one weekend can be — they’ve filled it with songs that go well beyond the five-minute mark, and even a back-to-back trio of 20+ minute epics! Whether you love stoner metal, space-faring psychedelia, mind-expanding jazz, or good ol’ hard-rocking grunge, you’ll have plenty of awesome sounds to keep your head nodding throughout this wonderful spring weekend.

Set controls for the heart of the sun, Virginia.
