Metacomet - Depression Ceremony (2010)

Long, plaintive and beautiful. Many bands which attempt the style mastered by Metacomet seem to succeed only in boring the living hell out of me. Not so with Metacomet's Depression Ceremony. Last.fm has this to say: "Metacomet is an ambient-psychedelic trio with Christina Boyd contributing vocals and Max Gardner and Ian Staub serenely dueling on their guitars. Since its evolution out of the primordial ooze of bedroom jams, Metacomet has established itself as an ongoing experiment in melding catchy hooks that embody the mute grandeur of "big skies" Americana with the meditative drone and melodic experimentation of psychedelic/experimental music traditions, especially German Kosmische Musik. The result is a sound that's warmingly familiar but maddeningly difficult to name or define."
