Track listing
Magnificent Fiend LP • Released March 4 "'70's AM rock splendor from psych supergroup. The best driving music modern money can buy." - UNCUT "...a joyous celebration of classic rock music, as life-affirming and unabashed as they come…" - OTHER MUSIC Having recorded a fistful of critically acclaimed -- and increasingly successful -- albums with neo-psychedelic pioneers Comets On Fire, frontman Ethan Miller lit out for fresh musical territories, located somewhere between the Santa Cruz, CA-based band's familiar sonic maelstrom and a more organic, melodic, groove-oriented rock that hearkened back to his halcyon daze growing up on California's "Lost Coast" (Humboldt County), home of lumberjacks, college students, unreconstructed hippies, and off-the-grid botanists. By turns pummeling and pastoral, Magnificent Fiend oscillates between roaring, all-stops-out, Hammond organ-driven tracks and delicate electric piano passages, topped by harmonized, often dissonant guitar lines. Toss in counter-melodic bass, sometimes quirky breaks, and extended instrumental sequences that are either ascending to the heavens or cascading softly, softly from the skies in sparkling showers of gunpowder and smoke. All held together by Miller's distinctive, crushed-velvet roar -- redolent of British R&B giants Steve Marriott or Terry Reid - which extends to a sweet, plaintive falsetto; and, as the album's oxymoronic title might imply, the lyrical content.
