Album Notes

With a dark, intense, (and sometimes jazzy) psychedelic rock sound, Cobweb Strange has been compared to everyone from the Doors, Porcupine Tree and early Pink Floyd to King Crimson, The Police and Tool. "Sounds From the Gathering," the band's second album, offers a new landscape of tones to explore.

"Cobweb Strange has matured considerably with "Sounds From the Gathering"". Stylistically, they take a refreshingly accessible approach to psych-influenced rock, adding a very slight touch of jazz...I really dug how the 11-minute "Sometimes the Shine Just Fades Away" shifted directions over lengthy instrumental passages, with Derik Rinehart's busy drums and Wade Summerlin's loping bass lines always in the foreground...Summerlin's vocals adopt a Jim Morrison-like inflection ("Solitude & the Hollow Promise") when he favors the lower registers, enhancing the band's darkly impressionistic lyricisms."
