   • We now have in stock "Surya" by Queen Elephantine, here's some blurb...
     
     "Surya is a mirage in the Martian desert – both otherwordly and earthly, barren and dense, a wild tempest of feeling. These are loose, droning jams; all-encompassing, draining, oppressive and at once peaceful, like the subject of the album, Surya – the Sun. These are the bastard children of the Grateful Dead that listen to Swans and Earth and Velvet Underground and YOB."

   • This is a cracking album. Think Om but instead of whale-like oceanic deep bass drones and mantras set of active drums, think a lighter more punchy bass beating out a rhythm. It's more riff orientated and in that sense it has more in common with Sleep's dopesmoker than Om, but it is a mantra. Compulsive listening.
