On the stoner side of instrumental (post?) rock. Does the loud/soft dynamic thing a bit, but not to the extreme that other bands do. Rock drums with hints of tribal tom beats and angular riffing, but with a western shootout ambiance. Songs are complex and go through multiple sections with heavy guitars, harmonica, and ambient twiddling. Souvenir’s Young America is a trio out of Virginia. For fans of Russian Circles, Ativin, and Red Sparowes. No FCCs. 33RPM
Side A:
1. Psychy organ pads and multi-part stoner/metal influenced instrumental piece. (6:22)
*2. Dreamy strings and Godspeed-esque twang, pretty stuff, breaks down and builds back up with toms. (8:10)
3. Lots of open space and delayed frontier guitar sweep with ominous distorted layers underneath. (5:31)
Side B:
1. Spaced, fuzzy epic driving trippy feel, then some blaring organs. (7:33)
2. Desolate harmonica with strummed, spacious guitar, picks up to rhythmic urgent march. (6:25)
*3. Slow ambient psychedelia and reversed electronic experimentation and effects to start, layers of soft trippy static and drone seep in, arrives at a little desert/dream rock stride. (6:18)
