Three DeBaser reviews chart U.S. Christmas’s heavy-psych/space-rock storms on Neurot Recordings. Expect kraut and Hawkwind streaks, theremin/synth swells, and gravel-throated vocals. Not post-rock: this is nocturnal, head-nodding heft with interstellar melancholia. Featured albums include Salt the Wound, Eat the Low Dogs, and Run Thick in the Night.

Notable Quotes

❝ It’s really pissed off, it’s not post-rock, it’s very psychedelic, it’s not very reasonable.

❝ U.S. Christmas, invent nothing. But they can make you bob your head between the interstellar progressions and the melancholic off-key melodies that strongly characterize this album.

❝ The ensemble curiously named U.S. Christmas is a composite group of six elements hailing from North Carolina affiliated with the heavily agitated roster of Neurot Recordings: thanks to which they have recently released their reflective third effort over a massive distance.
