I have never heard of this record before but I have to say
after many listens I really dig this one! Imaad is based in California and he
has been quite active doing a lot of collaborations and playing in several
bands (Lowercase, Alaska!, and the New Folk Implosion), including the early
formation of Sabbath Assembly. Check out the wiki page. Anyway this record
features 10 tracks of pretty cool rock music that is a bit mainstream at times,
sometimes psychedelic and hard rocking. A great mix of cool songs. Wanderlusting
is a great start off track with just nice melodies, cool layered vocals and
then just a killer rocking end section. I think what I liked about it was the
sort of darkness vs. light in the happy melodies mixed with the more dark and
heavy guitar parts but still always a pretty cool tune and sometime strange
lyrics. Work checking out for sure. This record was originally released back in
2008. The promo sheet recommends this record for fans of Dead Meadow, Espers and
Black Mountain? I am not sure. The CD
comes in a nice digipack CD with a lyric insert with a picture collage.
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
