Recommendation: Electric Mud Generator - The Sun Will Rise

[Russell]

EMG are a pretty eccentric London-based quartet, that I think/hope a fair few people (in contradistinction to my other reco) here will like. The band's music is really nice, organic metal, with moments that make me think of sludge, prog/space rock, psychadelia, and a strong folk feel. It's a great mix of genres, with clean vocals, memorable guitar lines, well-written songs and an ever-changing array of atmospheres. Everything is featured from monolithic dirges through tranquil and trippy interludes, and groove-laden doom. Basically it's emotive, fairly original and well thought out stuff. Hopefully a lot of people can get on board with the Sludgyfolkspaceddoomhippies (their description, not mine )

Uploaded the tracks again, and fixed the cover image (great cover!)

Very cool stuff - they certainly do hit an array of different atmospheres, but nothing sounds jarringly out of place. I found myself wishing the songs were longer, which can only be a good sign.

Thanks Russell. DL'ing now. Yeah, that cover does indeed RULE.

This is good, but not as good as i expected (or wanted). I gave (and will give) "Nektar" a fair number of repeats though, because this song rocks a lot (love the vocals in it).
