Dolorosa Reveries

Kingdom of the Holy Sun – Pharmacokinetic

"Seattle psych rockers Kingdom of the Holy Sun’s new album, Pharmacokinetics, is a 14-track beggars banquet of stoned, snaky jams that run from about three to six minutes: concise enough not to try your patience, long enough to work their beatific-sundown charms on you." - Thanks Teddy's Spaceship!

Sons of Otis "Seismic" (Again)

\m/\m/

Discordless - 148 Light Years

I stumbled across this while wandering around a site devoted to post-rock bands. And that makes a lot of sense because there are bits here that definitely will remind the listener of what may normally be thought of as post-rock music. But the band actually see themselves as playing what they call 'no-genre' music, so to try to pigeonhole it as being post-rock may be a bit unfair because there is a lot more going on here. I think if I personally had to come up with a label for this album, I would just use the over-arching and vague term 'psychedelic.'

Whatever....this album is...

Simply beautiful...

Fly Pan Am

Lovely ambient post-rock with a slightly jagged, experimental edge...

Monobrow - Bennington Triangle Blues

Absolutely nothing original at all with Monobrow. But if you like crushingly heavy, groovalicious stoner-rock instrumentals done just right, then you'll want to check this out!

Swervedriver- Raise

I've seen this band classified by so many music commentators as being part of that 90s shoegaze thing. And that would be due to the love of loud, clangy guitar blattage that they undoubtedly share  with a band like My Bloody Valentine.

But, I just don't see them as having that much in common with other gaze bands like Slowdive and The Telescopes. Swervedriver were just a tad on the squelchy and heavy side, compared to that ethereal crew of cloud-squatters.

Anyway, think Sonic Youth meets Zen Aracde era Husker Du, and add just a dollop of that driving heavy metal meets Blade Runner edge for an instant lost classic of the 90s!

Something like that...
