Ever wonder what would happen if San Francisco’s Or, The Whale decided to smoke some hallucinogenic jimson weed and then write a song about it? The second track from the group’s self-titled sophomore album (due September 22 on the Seany label), “Datura” has your answer. Titled for the Latin name of the weed datura stramonium, “Datura” is a gentle high with sweet country melodies and introspective vocals. Download “Datura” below, and visit Or, The Whale’s website to listen to more from its upcoming release.

Good stuff. Reminds me a lot of The Mother Hips, which is A-OK by me.
