Album Review

Dead Meadow
Howls From the Hills Xemu

Article written by Ged M - Apr 22, 2007

‘Howls From The Hills’ continues Xemu’s reissue of Dead Meadow’s early records, with the second album from 2001. The 8 songs are psychedelic blues in all forms, from the narcotic space rock of ‘One And Old’ (nearly 10 minutes of effects and distortion) to ‘The Breeze Always Blows’, a straight electric blues that would sit nicely next to the Black Keys’ work. But Dead Meadow are always knocking you off balance: ‘Drifting Down Streams’ starts the album with three minutes of ambient electronic and percussive noise before mutating into treacle-thick sludge rock, while the lyrics are by turns ominous and fantastic (as in strange: check the ruminative “if I was but a cow that you milked before dawn” on the sick and wheezy ‘Jusiamere Farm’). The reissue gives a good idea of where some of the credit for the resurgence of the whole psychedelic-rock scene should lie.
