california california...



ah residual echoes... i remember when their second lp came out someone in a record store i was in picked it up and looked at it. he asked me if i knew anything about the band cause he liked the cover art. i told him "if comets on fire were a shoegaze band." i think that was a pretty good description, personally.


this album, however is a little different. it relys on more of a folk element than blown out loudness, though the rock outs are definitely there. these four songs are sprawling and long, with accoustic and electric moments. altogether, though, i think that it is a fantastic album (ep?) and definitely worth listening to, especially if you are a fan of comets on fire, the holy mountain catalogue (wooden shjips, mammatus, etc.), blue cheer, amon duul II, etc... it was a vinyl only release (i think?) and came on thick ass smokey-clear vinyl. pretty certain it's long OOP, so here's your chance!

check it out!
