Album title: Echolocation
Artist: Gone is Gone
Genre: Alt-Rock
Nationality: American
Release date: January 6
Position in Discography: Debut
Familiar with this artist? No, but I have heard some Mastodon, QOTSA and ATDI
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? Unsure
Check out more from this artist? Probably not though maybe
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Not sure; not even sure what genre it is really.

So is this another supergroup? Mastodon's vocalist and bass player, At the Drive-In's drummer and the guitarist from Queens of the Stone Age: sounds like one to me. Hmm. Well the first track is pretty great, not so pushed about the second, third ain't up to much. Fourth is called “Dublin”. Well that's interesting at least. It kind of sounds like Radiohead and Nick Cave went for a drink with Waits. Different anyway. By and large, it ain't bad. “Roads” has a strange, disjointed feel to it that somehow doesn't annoy me, though it probably should. “Fast awakening” does exactly what it says on the tin: kicks life back into an album that has been, to be honest, flagging and getting a little dour. This rocks like a good thing as the boys head into the final stretch, then “Resolve” brings it all back to a slow, acoustic ballad before the title track finishes off nicely with a kind of mid-tempo progger. Nice, though whether I'd want to listen to it again is doubtful.
