Blue Cathedral

This is the Bay Area band's third album and first for Sub Pop; it's also their most varied and richly textured. On Blue Cathedral, their trademark modern psychedelic sound is enriched by more structured, keyboard-driven jams, churning out Blue Oyster Cult-ish chooglers and slow burners reminiscent of "Harvest"-era Pink Floyd. As Julian Cope said, "Comets On Fire deserve our gratitude...for their distillation of all the best rock riffs since High Rise's take on Blue Cheer..."
