Jalamanta by Brant Bjork
Jalamanta was a life changing record for me.
Its the record that launched my journey as Brant Bjork. Listening to the tapes 20 years later was amazing.
Tony Mason and myself were transported back to that moment in time.
Jalamanta was a first for both Tony and myself. My first record as a solo artist and his first record as an engineer. We didnt think twice about re-mixing it.
With our combined experience over the years, we knew we could take Jalamanta to the place we always wanted it to go..and we did. Dig it.

Brant Bjork epitomizes Desert Rock and his work has become synonymous with it. Whether one is considering his pioneering work in Kyuss and Fu Manchu, the stylistic exploration undertaken with Ché or his 25 year solo career, which has undoubtedly become his greatest contribution at this point, in songwriting, style and persona, Bjork is a singular icon.
