The USA Is A Monster - Space Programs

"Space Programs" is the fourth and probably last album of American duo The USA Is A Monster who recently announced their separation and even have shutdown both their official and My Space websites. An album composed by 7 pieces with an anti-solemn and casual/funny character ranging from psychedelia to progressive rock, and from RIO to space rock, developing a surprising complex and powerful sound in despite of the austere instrumentation that is limited to the guitar of Colin Langenus and the Tom Hohmann drums (plus some keyboards). With a remarkable interest in Native American cultures, reflected in many of their lyrics and also permeating the music, the sometimes mantrics interpretations by Hohmann and the sharp and vigorously stoner guitar of Langenus assemble electrifying passages where the music acquires a "mystical" and hallucinating touch. With pieces such as the impetuous opener "Cocaine Weeding", the splendorous and trippy "Frozen Rainbows", and specially "Tulsa," almost a religious experience, "Space Programs" is progressive rock without ornaments, solid and delirious. A trip. -CORANNIEIT-
