ANY DAY NOW

Psych-tinged electronic-glazed goth rock for ghosts, leading off with a tip of the hat to the classic ghost stories of M.R. James (Casting the Runes, inspired by the same story that inspired the classic Dana Andrews movie Night of the Demon) and continuing through a range of intriguing sonic frontiers. The album has a chilly sound which may surprise those who from the charming band name expect a tripped-out hippy psychedelic rock exploration, but which lays the groundwork for the similarly strong release The Golden Age. Waiting For the Cloud offers a ten-minute exploration which represents perhaps the most progressive extreme of the band's sound at this time.
