Description
Avatar is now back in print on vinyl.
After 2004s critically acclaimed Blue Cathedral one might have expected Comets On Fire to blast off into the cosmos. Surprising, then, that they should turn in an earthy, more accessible and downright beautiful album as this follow-up. Then again, it is a completely logical progression but in reverse.
On Avatar Comets display development in every direction as musicians, as songwriters, as arrangers and as singers without sacrificing one ounce of the intensity expected from our heroes. As on Blue Cathedral, the diversity of the material is staggering. Avatar veers from swinging, bluesy explorations to piano-laced, progressive power balladry, to pure tribalism, evoking everyone from the Allmans, to Quicksilver, to Procol Harum, to some insane Fela / Sun Ra / Crazy Horse hybrid, yet remains wholly Comets On Fire.
At the moment in American psychedelia, San Franciscos Comets on Fire are the ultimate howl. Rolling Stone
