Mammatus - The Coast Explodes

[NAD]

They have a new one out. It's called Sparkling Waters. Anyone hear it yet?

I really, really, really didn't get into their last one, so I'll revisit that first.

EDIT: Okay I think I get Heady Mental now. These are not songs or pieces, they are riff-based soundscapes that you just wander in/out of as if passing in a dream. Listening to them from that perspective makes a lot more sense of this album. Not their best, but still pretty good.

3/4 songs (around 20 min each) are floating around out there to stream. i'm diggin it. not a full return to the psychedelic wizard days of yore, but its more like the old stuff than Heady Mental was. also some more mellow soundscape kinda stuff. i recognize some of the riffs from a live recording i have that has most of the Heady Mental material on it as well, so i think probably a lot of this stuff was gestating at the same time.

album officially comes out Sat Nov 20th. seeing them in Oakland that night. should be awesome.
