Video Classic: Sleep, "Dragonaut"

I’ve been going back to this video for a week or so now. Such a dope song. Matt Pike has dreads (but it’s okay, he’s in High On Fire now, so he gets a pass), and I love Al Cisneros’ bass tone — fuzz and an envelope filter, like a Mu-Tron. Totally not a metal effect, but it sounds soooo grimey and gnarly with the distortion, it really works. Archetypal stoner metal…
