Synopsis

Amazon.com
Start with the reverb minimalism of Galaxie 500, add the guitar squall of Spacemen 3 and the under-the-influence psychedelic flourishes of Barrett-era Pink Floyd. But wait, that's not all! Include doses of Mogwai's loud-soft guitar loopiness, Rain Parade's droning electric folk, and Yo La Tengo's hushed melodic tenderness. With all these reference points, it's hard to state that Boston band Lockgroove manage to find an original path out of this influential forest, but somehow they manage to evoke without plagiarism to astounding result. Rumor has it that Martin and Ryan Rex--the identical twin brothers who front Lockgroove--share some kind of freaky musical telepathy, and the hard-wired intensity of Sleeping on the Elephant Fog's alchemy doesn't belie that notion. Indeed, if they fulfill the enormous promise of their first full-length, they may shift psychedelia's epicenter--previously located in California and Britain--to New England. --Tod Nelson

"i listen to them all the time."
Lockgroove - 'Sleeping On The Elephant Log' (Krave) 3 1/2 s

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Good, decent neo-psychedelic effort from these Boston rockers. 'Sleeping...' is their second of two full-length CD's. Believe they also have an EP out.Tunes that I liked best are "Safer Side","Bullet With Your Name On It","Keep Running" and "19 Years" and the twenty-minute epic "Never Satisfied".Line-up:Dave Goodman-organ,flute&vocals,Adam Brilla-guitar,Danny Finn- synthesizer&keyboards and Martin Rex-bass&drums.Might appeal to fans of The Verve,Helio Sequence,Flying Saucer Attack,7% Solution and Spectrum."
