Danava, 'UnonoU' (Kemado)

Is it hipster metal or real metal? Does it matter? Discuss.

This Portland, Oregon quartet piece together a lysergic cocktail of stoner sludge, prog pomp, and rocket blastoffs on their second album. Pinning a heavy thump under the melodrama, they turn paradiddles on a dime, swirl toward the stratosphere, slink back into rainy-day cave dwellings, experiment with Moog and cello and woodwind and horns, even bang heads now and then. Slight problem: They only intermittently catch a groove -- and Dusty Sparkles' howl tends to lack the gravity to keep the concoction from getting lost in space.
