Dr. Gonzo & The Cheesy Boys
The Witch
Review by Gary Hill
While this is not necessarily progressive rock in the classic sense, it definitely fits. It's an instrumental set with two epic (the shortest of which is almost 14 minutes long) pieces. It could be called "stoner rock," and clearly has a lot in common with that style. I tend to think of that sound as more typified by a Black Sabbath-like heavy metal sound, though. This is clearly not that type of thing. There is a lot of psychedelia built into this thing. It has plenty of space rock, too. Whatever you call this, though, it's an ever-changing sound that really works well. While it's based on retro sounds, this is somehow modern and fresh.
