Delaware collective the Sky Drops takes an unlikely hypothetical question and answers it. While sitting around, a group of herbal aficionados might touch on some musical intellectualism from time to time and question whether or not stoner rock can flow seamlessly into a melodic pop-guitar crunch. A hypothetical response to such a question could be Monika Bullette and Rob Montejo’s “Now Would Be.” With the track the group introduces a steady flow of dark guitar before reverting back to the lighter pop harmony. Refining post-grunge rock has been an unsuccessful recipe for many bands, but the Sky Drops seem to incorporate just enough of its surrounding tastes to make it work.
