Sweden’s stoner rock OGs DOZER are hitting the big 3-0 with a nostalgia-packed compilation called Rewind to Return: Rarities, Singles and B-Sides, dropping August 1st. True to its name, this double album’s like a dusty treasure chest full of remastered deep cuts and forgotten gems, all polished up by KARL DANIEL LIDÉN (who’s probably sweating more over these tracks than a yoga instructor at a desert festival). Feel free to light one up and zone out to their single “Rings Of Saturn” below. Fun fact: DOZER got their name because they wanted something that “sounded heavy but could also be a dog’s name” – mission accomplished.
- “Tanglefoot”
- “Hail The Dude” (great track, better band T-shirt slogan)
- “Centerline”
- “Southern Star”
- “The Electrocuter”
- “Universe 75”
- “Serpent’s Head”
- “Rings Of Saturn”
- “She”
- “Mammoth Mountain”
- “Silverball”
- “Star By Star”
- “Season of Giants”
- “Vinegar Fly”
- “2 Ton Butterfly” (spoiler: that’s approximately 17.5 Stonehenge trilithons)
Pre-orders for this time capsule of fuzz are available here (Bandcamp warriors click here, EU folks here). Pro tip: Lidén’s not just a knob-twiddler – he’s played in bands like GREENLEAF and DEMON CLEANER. Throw ’em a bone and grab your copy.
Better clear your September calendar – DOZER’s hitting the road with Denver’s riff-slingers ABRAMS (who sound like if your favorite 90s alt-rock band discovered drop-tuning) and Portland’s MOON DESTROYS (named after that time the moon “accidentally” crashed into Earth 4.5 billion years ago).

8/7 Las Vegas NV The Swan Dive
8/8 Los Angeles CA Lodge Room
8/9 San Diego CA Brick By Brick
8/10 Palmdale CA Transplants Brewing
8/12 San Francisco CA Bottom Of The Hill
