Somera Sól

Somera Sól is a 2007 album by Brant Bjork & The Bros, a desert/stoner rock band led by former Kyuss drummer Brant Bjork. It is their second band album and Bjork’s seventh solo release, originally issued on his Duna/Low Desert Punk imprint and later reissued by labels like Heavy Psych Sounds and Napalm Records. The record features Alfredo Hernández (also ex‑Kyuss) on drums and guest spots from Sean Wheeler (Throw Rag) and Mario Lalli (Fatso Jetson), situating it firmly within the Palm Desert stoner rock lineage rather than within the Icelandic art‑pop tradition associated with Björk Guðmundsdóttir.

Musically, Somera Sól revisits smooth, groove‑oriented desert rock built around warm guitar tones, relaxed but propulsive rhythms, and a laid‑back, sun‑drenched mood that critics describe as ideal for unwinding rather than head‑down heaviness. Songs such as “Turn Yourself On,” “Love Is Revolution,” and “Shrine Communications” balance memorable hooks with extended, Santana‑ and ’70s‑inspired jams, emphasizing positivity and looseness over gloom. Reviewers often single it out as a particularly cohesive and accessible entry point into Brant Bjork’s body of work, highlighting how each track has its own personality while sharing a consistent, dusty desert groove that makes the album feel like a single, continuous experience.
