Zodiacs


Some of the heaviest, haziest guitar psych I've heard that doesn't involve Kawabata Makoto. This record floats somewhere between drone and acid psych and is loosely anchored by a couple of blues riffs somewhere in there. Appropriately titled Gone, the album slows down only slightly to wallow in fuzzed out organ riffs before mountains of feedback and strangled fuzz rip the left side of your brain apart. This is a drugged up, late night ode to catharsis; but it remains unclear if the songs are exorcising the demons or beckoning them. Shying away from their more folk oriented current projects, the album combines the talents of Hush Arbors' Keith Wood, Wooden Wand's James Toth and nails it down with the drumming of Clay Ruby from Sunburned Hand of the Man. A formidable force that turns on, turns way up and melts your face like it was nothing but business. Gone is the band's first non-CDr release and comes out via the ever consistent Holy Mountain Records
