New Lightning Bolt - "Colossus"

Brian Chippendale and Brian Gibson release their fifth album Garden Of Earthly Delights in mid-October. The album title felt sort of Boschian when I heard it and turns out the album art kind of is as well. Speaking of expansive, take a listen to the seven-plus minute "Colossus." From the start it locks into an interestingly half-speed groove -- littered with those echoed, cavernous vocalisms -- until the guys start running uphill at the 3:40 mark and then pass into a phased-out stratosphere in the last minute.
