M’Grasker is a coven of humanoid meat sacks forged in the Vats of Creation by Dr. Gorp. Their mission: to Rock. However, they are also permitted to Roll. Human terminology might define them as a “band,” however they would be more accurately described as Biological Property of M’Graskorp Unlimited Enterprises and Subsidiaries of the GlanGlan Group. M’Graskorp’s renowned legal team compelled Jesse Turnbull (Taurus Music) and Dave Monks (Tokyo Police Club) to engineer and produce their forthcoming self-titled album, due this year.

M’Grasker present a psychedelic symphony in the form of “Kiss & Smoke Weed,” an amorous and trippy song that pays homage to the twin pillars of human joy: a kiss, the sweet interlocking of souls, and the goij, the herb that unravels the mind’s knotty woes. Imagine the harmonic convergence of lips meeting ‘twixt loving gazes and the effervescent dance of goij smoke waltzing through the air. Its intoxicating groove offers a kaleidoscopic sound, accompanied by a phantasmagoria of color and love.

Much of M’Grasker‘s DNA was salvaged from the backstage areas and bathrooms of seedy Toronto music venues and transferred via Scienetic Quantum Hurtlage to the M’Graskorp Labs, located just beyond Space and Time (and slightly to the left). There, the illustrious Dr. Gorp folded the DNA into his patented bio-muck through perverse osmosis, adding a large scoop of adrenaline and dashes of other substances that can’t be named, much less comprehended.

After releasing their ‘curt’ 69-track EP Under the Righteous Sky in 2022, the band endured a brief transmogrification when canine DNA entered the Vats, resulting in 2023’s dog-themed follow-up Must Love Doggy.

1. Tell us the story of this song, why did you choose to visualize this song specifically? 
Dr. Gorp calls the shots around here, vis a vis what songs get made when, and how. He has demanded to answer this particular question himself.

“Ah, traveler! “Kiss & Smoke Weed” is a dance twixt notes and high spirits. It sets simply the complex pathos of our existence while delighting the auditory cortices of both man and beast with melodic splendor; to kiss your bonnie compatriots in yonder moonlight followed by inhaling most deeply the divine mangoloijian puff is a rapture most refined. M’Grasker weaves such threads intrinsically within their music – inspired absurdity encased in a delicate lacquer of universal truth. For is there no fate better than a dome of full smoke divine and a kiss from your one true love?” – Dr. Gorp

The Board has graciously given us, the band, the opportunity to answer the following 2 questions directly.

2. What was the inspiration behind this video (visuals, storyline, etc.)? 

It all starts with The Void. We love The Void, and we’ve been trying to work with The Void for as long as we’ve been trying to work. Once we had locked in The Void, we moved on to some central themes, Kissing and Smoking Weed chief among them. Then we consulted with “the kids” — ‘lo and behold dancing is a timeless and popular activity, and the current age is no exception. And so, the major players of our video were assembled. We brought these nuggling’s of Gene to Adam Griffith and Colin Vaillancourt, our video producers and executors extraordinaire – and the rest is history, we’re now proud creators of the world’s most successful music video ever made.

3. What was the process of making this video?
We consumed a lot of “prop weed” during the filming of the video, which has no known psychoactive effects, so this accounting of the days events can be trusted whole heartedly.,

It began around 4:20, AM or PM I cannot recall, one thing was certain: it was time to rock and roll. That’s when the interdimensional rift opened up, and the video team poured through. You should have seen the lights they had shining as they entered the spot, it was… beautiful. Then we ordered some food from Lyle’s, our absolute top pick for food in the city, you have to KNOW it to know it, if you know what I mean. Anyway, then we ate the food, perfected the art of dance and drew our swords, following their hallowed tips towards the truth. Inspiration struck many times… twice, to be exact, not unlike a broken watch.
