This review is from: Arc of the Sun (Feat. Mike Gordon of Phish) (MP3 Download)

This NY based quintet melds the deep grooves of blues and R&B with guitar work that flavors Neil Young and Wilco. While founding member Reid Genauer respects the jam band scene, he believes his band's focus is on song-craft. CD really grows on you.

Despite the number of guest musicians, Assembly of Dust's second studio record is incredibly focused, and one that deservedly earns comparisons to The Band, Neil Young, and Wilco. It's a daring album, showing off both their singer's lyrical acumen and the band's ever expanding musical palette.

The easy going americana "Arc of the Sun", a track that's popped up in the group's live set for a few years, features a searing psychedelic guitar solo from Phish bassist Mike Gordon thats weighty and dark. Meanwhile, "Edges" and "Light Blue Lover" float by on gorgeous melodies, contrasting nicely with the bluesier, almost grimy feel of "Pedal Down" and "Borrowed Feat."
