There is a party going on, a celebration, the 4th of July, a homecoming. Or just raise your beer can and give a nod from your porch-rocker. Either works, everyone’s welcome. The new record (the young band’s seventh!), titled »Fata Morgana«, is one of those gems that is familiar somehow, yet takes the listener on a journey mapped out in new pathways. Heavy with a layer of glorious weirdness, this album combines raucous, dirty guitar sounds with clever musicianship, hypnic vocals, and a stylistically diverse range of songs. Tracks such as the ominously titled »T.G.R« pummel you with funky yet tasteful weirdness, whilst »Not my Circus« guides you through a meticulously crafted landscape that can best be described as articulate minimalism. Listeners will find nods to punk with the track »Sacrilegious High«, and by the end, be taken through a progressive rock landscape only seldom explored by bands such as King Crimson with the 9 minute epic, »In Lieu Of Roses«. »Fata Morgana« is a record that is both representative of the band’s growth, as well as their continued blending of pop-sensibilities and musical weirdness.
