expo '70: virtually from the unknown

Expo '70 is mainly known for being the work of Justin Wright with the occasional contribution of other musicians, primarily dabbling in drone, krautrock, psychedelic rock and kosmische music. This new release features a trio line-up of Wright accompanied by Aaron Osborne and Mike Vera. Rounded out by bass and drums, a heavier doom-inspired psychedelic journey from the drop of the needle takes the listener into the inner tangled web of sound and locked grooves from the rhythm section allowing Wright to express washes of textures and breaking loose on more rock-esque guitar playing. As the needle drops onto side B, 'Closet Full of Candles' opens as a huge Sabbathy riff and get's into stoner rock territory and quickly becomes dismantled by a wash of psychedelic jamming.
