Wolfmother - Dimensions

Wolfmother
Dimensions
Modular Recordings
Grade: A-

The buzz is buzzing about the acid-drenched jam heavy rock of Wolfmother; and not just that keeping track of their name with all the other …Wolf… is a scenester badge. On this teaser EP, Wolfmother thrash your mind with four songs of majestic rock and add two videos to set you up for your own hallucinatory desert trip. The EP opens on its name sake with a scream from vocalist and guitarist Andrew Stockdale before bassist Chris Ross and Myles Heskett join in for the full-scale assault. Wolfmother follow this attack with the slower paced 70s heavy rock “Mind’s Eye” – that along with “Dimensions” is one of the videos included. “Love Train” merges the two speed sounds, while the final number “The Earth’s Rotation Around the Sun” is a detached, somewhat failed experiment. If you want something between QOTA and Mars Volta, Wolfmother may be your ticket.
