Roadburn - Neptune With Fire review

ANCESTORS - “NEPTUNE WITH FIRE”
[CD - TeePee Records]

LA-based quintet Ancestors head off into third-eye territory on their amazing debut for TeePee Records affiliate North Atlantic Sound. The thing I like the most about the Ancestors is their manipulation of the musical vibe — alternating between Sleep’s heavy riffing and lysergic freak-outs. Ancestors take the listener on a trip to a place where space is heavy and sound is all that matters. Factor in some strategic organ textures here and there, and you’ve got an album with more dimensions than you know what to do with, just the way the Ancestors planned it. Blast off!
