Grails - Deep Politics (2011)


After a week of listening to math rock and metal I think its time for something a little bit more mellow. For a band that has been together for 12 years and released 12 recordings with another one due in a few months, Grails would have to be one of the hardest working bands around. these guys sound like a musical dedication to psychotic thriller films of the 60's and 70's, with eastern influenced aggressive jams and extended solos.  Parts of Deep Politics kinda come off a little bit cheesy at times compared to their much darker Black Tar Prophecies series but but there is a charm which Grails holds true to themselves and that is generally being the bee's knees of psychedelic rock.
