Press Reviews
Lawrence alternative-rockers Sturgeon Mill showpromise and real depth on its latest effort,"Ripples in the Upside Down Pond." As the album'stitle might imply, Sturgeon Mill blendsdeep-purple psychedelia into its musical soupalong with heavy doses of scuzzy garage grunge andscrappy, pop-inflected alternative. "Ripples" opens with the ethereal "The Dance of Chod," a sonic dreamscape that seeps into the inner regionsof the cortex and sets the listener up for the fuzztone sendoff of "Lifeless People." Guitarist-vocalist Lonnie Fisher has a strong voice that works best on cuts like the crawling king snake moan of "Touch the Twilight" and the jangly rush and push of the oh-so Smiths "Kill Yourself or I Will." Fisher and axeman Robert Dixon like their guitars cranked up to 11 and wail away on the ocean-size roar of "Sick" and the swirling pop of "The Trap." Percussionist Chris Nunez is clearly the group's standout musician -- a monster drummer who pounds and paradiddles his way through each track with drive and confidence that serve as the band's engine. Ed Rose's crystal-clear, mercurial production once again provides a golden touch, bringing out the best the Mill has to offer -- brooding, stormy dreampop that soars and rages into uncharted musical terrain.
