Everest spice up their brand of blues affected rock n roll with a dash of psychedelic classic rock on their third album. There is a hazy quality to the album that works well with Russell Pollard's effortlessly wailing vocals and the reverberating guitars sprawling through the songs, really selling the fuzzed out reverb-drenched guitars, distant whistling, and lo-fi wail of "Into The Grey". The heavy beat and thicket of steadily pulsing riffs and squealing lead guitar on "Hologram" work well the laid-back swagger in Pollard's vocals. Sandy firepit ballad "Letter" and dusty, soulful "Raking Me Over The Coals" offer a brief breather from the jangly guitar rock drive of the album, with most of the effort offering the loosely flung riffs of tracks like "Games" that sound ripe to be stretched into jam band offerings live. The tambourine-laced shimmer of opening "Rapture" finds the band leaning heavily on their classic rock influences with snarling and strutting guitars ablaze and Pollard effortlessly belting out one of the album's best melodies. Everest's latest is a consistently solid offering is a ready-made soundtrack for your summer nights.
