Kylesa- Static Tensions

I, unfortunately, wasn't working at Prosthetic when this record came out and the band was pretty much out of album cycle when I started, so I didn't get the opportunity to work this album or with this band very much. It's a fantastic record and a great band. Great mix of doom, "stoner," psych, and even some sludge and bordering on crust at times. "Static Tensions" walks the line between artistic trippy and dissonant anger so well. The band reminds me quite a bit of Eyes Like Knives, if they'd gone even heavier at the end, rather than quieter, mainly due to the back and forth male/female vocals. Definitely curious as to what they're going to do next.
