We Drew Lightning – “Swimming with Orange ” – [High Mayhem]

Although We Drew Lightning purports to be genre-transcending, this CD has heavy psychedelic overtones. The vocals fade into the background of guitar, piano, drums, electronics, banjo, and cello, and the journey is sometimes trance-like, other times jarring. Each song on here will appeal to different people, although my favorite is 5. PGM: Most tracks end at :05, except 2 which ends cold at :10, and 9, which ends right at :01, seeming to track into 10 except that 10 starts with a bang so the transition isn’t smooth.
