Smoke CHASER

Smoke Chaser’s 2023 album, Alazapul, is "a 10-song fever dream of wildly catchy California indie rock." Led by producer Jon Spivak, Smoke Chaser features renowned Monterey singer Malinda DeRouen (Beach Blanket Babylon), the songs of Ryan Masters (The Suborbitals), and Eric Satzman on drums.
