These guys rock!! come see them live in the Puget sound, they are even better in person!!!

With the release of their freshman CD Angle Of Repose, High Ceiling has taken their mission to a higher level of both mind and geographic expansion. Soon to venture beyond the confines of the Puget Sound basin, they will take their percussion-based fusion of rock, reggae, jazz and world and boldly go where other bands have gone before, but probably enjoy it more. Undoubtedly fueled by exposure to vast fields of psychoactive mushrooms that spring forth from the land in their Mason County home, this album aptly recreates the “live” experience that can be felt at one of their amazing shows without ingesting any drugs whatsoever. Hail thee musicians of the rain and may the gods be with you on your voyage to superstardom!

Thoroughly enjoying this CD. The lyrics are obviously well thought out and original, the jams are inspiring, and the musicianship is awesome. Makes you want to dance and smile!

It is rare to hear a band capture a sound that is so predicated on live listening as accurately as High Ceiling has on this recording. When one hears a jam band's CD, oftentimes it feels lacking in comparison to a live performance; Angle of Repose does not have this problem. The hooks of the songs are very catchy and danceable ("Restless Soul," with its great reggae vibe, is an outstanding example of this), and the jams showcase each band member's enormous talent. The recording quality is excellent (especially considering, as I've heard, that the instrumentation was done all in one day). I would recommend this CD to anyone and everyone. I have made all of my friends and family listen to it, and everyone has enjoyed it; these people's musical tastes range from punk and ska to grunge and metal to classic rock and blues. Everyone can find something to like about this album. If you breathe and appreciate any sort of musicianship, pick up this this CD and come out to a live show. You will be blown away. To sum it up, let me put it this way: Angle of Repose has been in my disc changer in my car since I bought it in late August, and I don't suspect it will come out any time soon.
