GREENLEAF - Hear The Rivers (CD)

The same question arises three years after the beautiful Rise Above The Meadow: Why are GREENLEAF not packing the biggest venues just like Queens Of The Stone Age? Well, it can`t be the fault of ôLet It Out!ö, the heavenly groovy opener of that album's follow up, Hear The Rivers. The rest of the album also turns out to be quite the mesmerizing bag of tricks that seizes the Swedish Stoner sound and enriches it with so many wonderful things, like the unforgettable riff-o-rama äGood Ol`Goatô or the slow soulfeeder äWe Are The Pawnsô. An absolute gem of an album that is best kept in the family û which is why former GREENLEAF- and Dozer drummer Karl Daniel LidÚn (Craft, Bloodbath, Crippled Black Phoenix amongst others) produced it.
