I HOPE IT LANDS

Your Local 282 is a fabulous avant prog band, and this chemistry experiment is an excellent confirmation of their quality. Over the course of the record, we cover industrial, raga rock, hard rock, and sometimes the just plain weird. The singing is great, and the lyrics are surreal and sometimes downright hilarious. The hard rock will range from the loud and harsh to something out of the garage rock revival to neat lulls. The drums are spectacular, and add much to the band's style. Horns and gongs figure at times. This band, at least here, is The White Stripes gone wonderfully experimental and just plain mental. "I Hope It Lands" is just plain some of the best rock in years on top of being some of the best avant prog in years. And to the band, I have to say: It's all good. It landed. And with a boom.
