Stoned Guitar

Stoned Guitar (1970) is the defining statement from The Human Instinct and one of the cornerstone recordings of New Zealand psychedelic rock. Led by drummer‑vocalist Maurice Greer with blistering guitar work from Billy TK, the album pushes deep into heavy psych, blues‑rock and extended improvisation, capturing the raw, electrifying energy of the band at their peak.

Across its mix of originals and reimagined covers, the record delivers long, free‑flowing jams, fuzz‑drenched solos and a fierce, live‑in‑the‑studio intensity that has earned it cult status internationally.

Often cited as one of the most important NZ rock albums of its era, Stoned Guitar remains a powerful, immersive listen - an essential document of the country's late‑60s/early‑70s underground scene.
