Music as heavy as Dead Meadow’s is often accompanied by growling and caterwauling vocals, but Jason Simon’s gentle croon doesn’t quite adhere to the formula set by his stoner-rock brethren. On their fourth album, the Washington, D.C. trio combine monster riffs and gnarly solos with a dreamier vibe steeped in shoegaze and psychedelic influences. Even the grinding “Get Up On Down” boasts softer shades, as does the folky “At Her Open Door”—until it climaxes in a raging freak-out.
