Two DeBaser reviews paint Bigelf as a Los Angeles quartet channeling 70s prog, hard rock, and psychedelia. Hex blends Sabbath-grade riffs with Beatles-tinged melodies, while Cheat the Gallows swings from catchy to orchestral excess with muscular keys. A Progressive Nation Tour stop sealed the deal: Bigelf impressed. Overall verdict: varied, impactful, and recommended.
