Rating: After two wonderful, majestic albums, gloomy at heart but psychedelic in content, masterpieces of that very interesting subgenre called heavy-psych, which is especially booming in America, and a significant line-up change as it marked the departure of the driving force behind certain harsher, post-metal and doom sounds (Chico Foley, founder of the band) in the band's sound, Ancestors return with this short album (EP a bit long to be honest, we're talking about almost half an hour of music) which, according to the label (Tee Pee), marks a new start for the Californian group.
With the harsher side of their sound toned down, what emerges is a pastoral, psychedelic, gentle, soothing, melancholic, space, and prog work, as if to highlight their wonderful skeleton made of seventies ballads, direct ascensions into hyperspace with sounds that fill every gap of emptiness hiding around us with magical emotion: like Pink Floyd dragged into the new millennium, they encounter harmonies that descend directly from those beautiful grooves, never to be replicated again. Now we just have to wait for the real album to understand where these pioneers of constellations lost in time want to go.
Wonderful!
