Off And Gone - Everest FLAC album

Though Off and Gone only released a single album, EVEREST, with its dreamy breaks and spacious atmospheres. It's evident immediately on "Gods Have Gone" which twinkles and floats around, grounded by the percussion, at least until the title track drives in some 4/4 beats buoyed by some Indian-inspired flutes (which recur in "My God"). "Kopli," as well, engages that psychedelic feel without ever going over-the-top, and "Sprinkle" engages pure ambience, all the better to let "Shasta" wander about with its more guitar-centric melodic lines. There's a careful attention to melody here, and even when they engage with the acid, as on "Sigma Receptor," they keep something melodic in the background to hang onto. And even if "Europia" wobbles a bit too much, the closer "Phosphanes" meanders pleasingly. An unfortunately overlooked album.
