Merging psych, garage, lo-fi, prog, and countless other influences, Crystal Antlers easily maintains consistency despite a complete inability to be pinned to any specific movement or trend (so long as you’re not counting the increasingly frustrating trend of unimaginative bandnames).

Surrounded in an even thicker haze of psychedelic smoke than the Gris Gris‘ self-titled debut, For the Season is an unabashedly ambitious, occasionally difficult album that traces a journey to the deepest, darkest recesses of Greg Ashley’s mind. While the album’s ambitions occasionally get the better of the actual music, For the Seasons intermittent brilliance is worth digging and waiting for.

Comets on Fire hail from Santa Cruz, CA. All in all, Avatar is truly an exceptional record. It contains genuinely surprising music, and, in light of Comets on Fire’s history of experimentation, that is no small feat. In an article in Mojo magazine, band member Noel Harmonson said that the members of Comets on Fire “believe psychedelic rock is the most transcendental music”. On Avatar, they have succeeded in transcending expectations, and that is, in and of itself, quite an accomplishment.
