Rancho de la Luna stuff, but not the gritty and desert-y sort of; rather, it's a patchwork of psychedelic(s), electronic bits, tribal percussions, krautrock influences, early 70s' Floyd, Eno's ambient pop, and some then-trending alt rock. It results in an atmospheric rock record, sometimes e x p e r i m e n t a l and sometimes reminiscing of other stoner greats in the likes of Master of Reality or QOTSA, but always with that specific psychedelic edge that made me think at times of Ween. It's sometimes quirky for the sake of it, and it makes the record lose some steam during its midpart. The bookends, however, are some kool thing.
