Zombie Picnic
A Suburb of Earth
Review by Gary Hill
This instrumental set is part jam band, part trippy psychedelia, part space music and part prog. Like space rock, nothing really changes that quickly. The music more evolves than it does burst forth most of the time. These four pieces all segue into one another. The shortest piece is over seven and a half minutes in length, while the longest is almost four minutes lengthier than that one. The whole disc weighs in at just a couple minutes less than forty minutes. This is guitar laden and trippy stuff, but it has bursts of real power. All in all, it’s quite an effective ride that’s well suited for fans of modern instrumental guitar based prog.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2016 Volume 4 at lulu.com/strangesound.
