| About ANCESTORS |
Our debut album, NEPTUNE WITH FIRE, is out now in the US and UK!. Available now in stores or you can order it over at Tee Pee Records or by it on iTunes (or any other online music retailer or digital music outlet if you're not into the whole Apple thing)!
PRESS
MOJO Magazine:
"LA Quintet Ancestors are suitably lysergic, their debut consisting of two conceptual, organ-striated heavy rock odysseys"
Decibel:
"...a surprisingly compact freakout that rumbles and spirals its way through a colorful kaleidoscope of textures before building itself back up to a Pink Floyd-inspired denouement of considerable beauty."
Pitchfork:
"First there's the straightforward thickness of Kyuss disciples Corrosion of Conformity. The resin-sopped riffs of Pepper Keenan's oft-overlooked stoner rock troupe seem to offer the blueprint for much of the opening track on Ancestors' Neptune With Fire. Second, there's the suffocatingly slow inertia of Sleep. The doom progeny's stillness informs the rest of this L.A. five-piece's debut, and Arik Roper, the psych-artist who designed Sleep's Dopesmoker's album art, designed the visuals for Neptune. And then, when you get away from the backbone, there's Pink Floyd and maybe even Hawkwind here as well. But it's those two immediately perceptible reference points that make for an interesting 1990s-informed take on 70s hard psyche, early doom, and art rock...makes it easy to come to Neptune With Fire for the mammoth riffs, but stay for the stretches when Ancestors take 'far out' even further."
Metal Hammer:
"Neptune With Fire defies analysis by being everything one could possible demand from a paean to the riff, the reefer and the misty-eyed squint into the cosmos... a lengthy, celebratory trip"
L.A. Record:
"...something along the lines of a well-paced epic soundtrack."
Rock Sound:
"...simultaneously the sound of a desert road trip, surfing the perfect wave, copulation to the point of exhaustion, being crowned local pinball champion, the perfect pair of flares and a killer acid trip."
Roadburn:
"Ancestors take the listener on a trip to a place where space is heavy and sound is all that matters."
Artrocker:
"...it's actually theatre set to music."
Abort:
"...takes the pure enjoyment of riff soaked nods to the past and breaths new life into a genre set adrift by speed and repetition."
