Description
We've longed for the day when LA-via-DC transplants Dead Meadow would drop a studio album that matched the power of one of the best shows on the planet. With "Old Growth," the firm of Simon, Kille and McCarty have delivered a remarkably clear, powerful and confident recording that should elevate the trio into the pantheon of great guitar bands of our time.Recorded at both a haunted rural Indiana farmhouse, and at LA's Sunset Sound (in the studio where many of the tracks for Led Zeppelin IV were laid down), Jason Simon continues his reign as a modern-day Jimi, while the rhythm section recalls the creativity and tension of Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker.
Darlings of both the stoner rock and modern psychedelia worlds (and featured in the new movie on heavy rock named after one of their tracks, "Such Hawks, Such Hounds"), Dead Meadow transcend both. Over the last ten years, they've reacted to the country's swelling conservatism with a particularly escapist, surreal, lovely, and deafening sound of their own, and an exponentially growing audience tuning in.
