The Mermen covering The Beatles in psychedelic instrumental surf fashion...

Solid post-rocky sludge business.

EDIT: They turn into Oxbow on the last track, Crown Fire.

Jim's guitar is both atmospheric and majestic. Unlike Hendrix (the king of organic guitar), you can feel he is “thinking” like a man when playing his instrument (not “screaming” like a beast). His songs are sort of stately poems. He belongs to the Tom Verlaine-Neil Young side of guitar playing (I mean, the non-animal, the almost metaphysical side).

This is one of his crowning achievements: "And the flowers they'll bloom" (1995).

I almost forgot how cool The Gathering were. They started out all goth doom, which was cool, but by How to Measure a Planet? they were some kind of prog, space rock, alternative rock band of awesome proportions. It's a double album with some more doom elements on the second half. With the space rock **** going on some of it doesn't sound a million miles away from a trip hop Ufomammut with a chick singer. Or Massive Attack with doom riffs about halfway through the song.

****ing awesome whatever it is though.

^ I first heard them played on a local college radio station in 1995 and was so impressed by what I heard that I bought that album the next day. I've been a fan of the band since then.
Have almost everything they've ever released on CD or vinyl as well as a couple dozen live shows on audio and video.

Just added this one to my collection a couple of days ago...

The Mermen - Do You Hear What I Hear - A Very Mermen Christmas (2012)

It just became my favorite Christmas album!

Here they are at Slim's in San Francisco on December 23, 2012, performing "Do You Hear What I Hear"
