I was lucky enough to get one of the
half pink half white first presses of this release. The band is back with
another full length record and the songs-jams are a bit more uptempo with some killer fuzzed out space rock stuff. I think this is the best sound production they have ever had. The opening track has been on the net
for a while and is called Path of Light and one of the most heavy and uptempo
ones on the record with some killer fuzz wah lead solos as well. Robot Stomp is
very Kraut inspired and has the same repeated bass and guitar line over and
over with other sounds bubbling up from here and there. This one was totally
killer live. What a cool track. This leads into the Dream you See, which I
think they played in reverse order live. It has an intense fuzz phase guitar as
the words are delivered in small packets before Dave lets it rip on the guitar.
Flip
the pink/white record over and Song of Everything kicks in with full intensity
with some more intense riffs and sounds and cool bass lines as well. They get
totally spaced out with some bluesy guitar and floating wind and effected
spoken words before the riff returns. Super cool song. I write a 1000 Letters
is the last track. A really different
track with this like organ and fuzz guitar but a sort of dreamy drone element
that pulls your attention somewhere else, while the fuzz guitar takes you the
other way. I really like the new sound and feel of this record and the new
drummer brings a new fresh energy. You really need to hear this one with
headphones as there are layers of interesting sounds and things bubbling around
that are really cool and a bit buried under the intense layers and riffs of
guitar. It is a solid collection of songs that really translated great live!
