Manzanita [CD]

Critically admired and fan celebrated San Francisco psychedelic power rockers Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound delivers a one-two punch of†psychedelic power cooler and lunar outpost chill out on their long awaited new album Manzanita. The most realized document of the band's shape†shifting powers yet, Manzanita is a gumbo of potent California psychedelic pop rock brimming and bubbling over with feeling, fuzz, soul, sunshine†melancholy, feral ferocity and hook-laden mystery. The electrically colorful quartet, whose sound was once described as 're-envisioning Spiritualized†as a jam band,' creates what can be described as 'post psych roc' that is at once pastoral, menacing, leaden and ethereal. Or maybe the band†themselves describe it all best: 'Imagine you're alone, and [our band's] along and we're playing you a gig - our last glorious supper on this giant†abandoned space freighter, just before we're ripped asunder in the gravity of giant planets. That's what we're going for.'
