Wonderfully thick and heavy Psychedelia!

"Boy am I in a rut right now! But what a WONDERFUL rut. For the last few months I just haven't been able to listen to anything but Neo-Psychedelia. I've been listening to stuff like Area C, Boris, The Black Angels, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Dandy Warhols, Brother JT, The Warlocks, you know...
But right up there on top are the Gibbons Brothers bands Bardo Pond and Alasehir.
Alasehir, the side band of the larger Bardo Pond, has become one of my all time favorite records. Being a fan of modern "Serious" music too, Reich, Glass, Thompson, Adams, Torke, I especially appreciate the length and breath of these instrumental works.
Thick, heavy guitar chords wash over you like the waves of the ocean while Michael Zangha's drumming smashes at your brain like a rivet gun. These four tracks are just a wonderful (acid) trip through the world of modern 21st Century Psychedelic music.
PLEASE don't let this record pass you by. If you enjoy any of the music I mentioned above, you'll LOVE Alasehir!"
