Lockgroove announces that their long-awaited new record,
Calm Right Down, is finally complete and ready for mass
consumption. This, their 2nd full-length, expands
tremendously upon the "space rock" formulae their debut
"Sleeping on the Elephant Fog" put in place. Gone are
the 20+ minute noise jams - replaced instead by far more
concise and potent blasts of sound combined with
beautifully crafted pop. The band underwent a
metamorphasis of sorts during the 3+ years spent
writing, recording, doubting, slacking, and generally
hammering away at their vision of this album. Calm Right
Down is the result of countless hours of work at Dented
Head Studios, the home base of the SharkAttack! Music
label collective. Additionally, Calm Right Down is an
album for the first time entirely written, engineered,
and produced by Lockgroove, and features guest
appearances from a number of Boston's finest musicians.
LOCKGROOVE burst onto the Boston music scene with their
outstanding debut EP "Rewired." Lockgroove floored
everyone in their path, shattering eardrums and blowing
minds in the process. Not content with the humdrum club
scene in Boston, lockgroove teamed up with local
musicians and video artists for a series of eclectic
"happenings" dubbed "Deep Heaven." Soon bands from
across the country and around the world such as Acid
Mothers Temple, Bardo Pond, Brother JT, Lightning Bolt,
and Kool Kieth were taking part in these Warholian
multi-media gatherings. Lockgroove's critically
acclaimed first ep, "Rewired," was recorded in 48
frantic hours and is a testament to the band's manic and
unpredictable live shows. Before "Rewired" was even
released, identical twin brothers Martin and Ryan Rex
were already sequestered in their run-down-rat-infested
basement with an 8 track machine recording demos for
what would become their amazing debut full-length album
(at 70 minutes we mean full-length) - "Sleeping on the
Elephant Fog." The album's 12 seamlessly-intertwined
songs channel everything from the psychedelia of Syd
Barrett and Sonic Boom to the linear experimentation of
Can and Eno to the raw power of the MC5 and The Velvet
Underground, and present a unified musical experience.
"There's nothing like a band that can rock a club with
both visceral power and improvisational intelligence,
which is what the young band lockgroove has been all
over town for the past year and a half. It has veered
far from the path of predictability, and its energized,
inventive music has frequently been compared to the
likes of Spiritualized and Spaceman 3. But make no
mistake, this act is a complete original." --Billboard.
"lockgroove's dense, full-on sound invites comparison to
Brian Eno's "Music for Airports" -- as performed by a
fighter jet squadron." --The Boston Globe
"Sonic alchemists of the highest order, lockgroove write
some of the most elastic, ebullient pop songs since
Galaxy 500 and Spaceman 3, only louder... In short,
they're the most astounding band to emerge from Boston
in quite some time." --The Boston Phoenix
"The band creates dense cosmic symphonies with layers of
head feeding noise" --Spin
