Spiral Shadow (Deluxe Edition)

Comes with a DVD! The stellar return of the world's heaviest indie rock band! Already touted as the album of the year by metal and indie rock press alike, Spiral Shadow delivers a mosaic of amazing audio atmospheres. While remaining melodic and musical, huge, heavy, hypnotic waves wash over the listener. Spiral Shadow may be hard to categorize but impossible not to enjoy! 'These crusty Southern punks outed themselves as prog rockers in 2008 with a brilliant cover of Pink Floyd's "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun," turning that late-'60s space shuttle into a battle cruiser. Then, last year's breakthrough Static Tensions found an audience ready for their sludgy guitars, double-drum thunder, and guitarist Laura Pleasants' earthy scream. The 78-minute Spiral Shadow supersizes everything, from song lengths to layers of deep-focus space-rock effects, but the sprawling songs are still built around riffs as sweaty as a south Georgia summer.' - Joe Gross / Spin
