BRANT BJORK - Keep Your Cool (LP)

Brant Bjork didn't invent it, but he epitomizes Desert Rock and his work has become so synonymous with it. Whether one is considering his pioneering work in Kyuss and Fu Manchu, the stylistic exploration undertaken with Ch or his 17-year solo career, which has undoubtedly become his greatest contribution at this point, in songwriting, style and persona, Bjork is a singular icon.
