There first two releases have well-designed collage-based covers and are pressed on [...]
First, I love the band name.

The colorful yet lamenting mood on "Golden Cypress" suggests both. The dangling threads of reverberated guitar notes, astronomical low end, and aquatic rhythm bring to mind Mogwai circa Rock Action and more ambient Do Make Say Think. Space rock is still very much alive, and it's gotten intensely melodic as of late. ( The Late Virginia Summers on [...]
