Sounds Like
"Lockgroove's dense, full-on sound invites comparison to Brian Eno's "Music for Airports" -- as performed by a fighter jet squadron." -- The Boston Globe
"Sonic alchemists of the highest order, Lockgroove write some of the most elastic, ebullient pop songs since Galaxy 500 and Spaceman 3, only louder... In short, they're the most astounding band to emerge from Boston in quite some time." -- The Boston Phoenix
"The band creates dense cosmic symphonies with layers of head feeding noise" --Spin
"There's nothing like a band that can rock a club with both visceral power and improvisational intelligence, which is what the young band Lockgroove has been all over town for the past year and a half. It has veered far from the path of predictability, and its energized, inventive music has frequently been compared to the likes of Spiritualized and Spaceman 3. But make no mistake, this act is a complete original." --Billboard

"Four years and a few lineup changes after their debut full-length, Boston space rockers Lockgroove have fundamentally transformed their sound for the better. Largely recorded as a duo by twin brothers Ryan Rex (vocals and guitar) and Martin Rex (drums), 2000's Sleeping on the Elephant Fog featured lengthy and pleasantly shapeless drones that occasionally coalesced into something approaching traditional forms. The far more concise Calm Right Down has plenty of trippy neo-psychedelic atmosphere ("The Suicides" is covered in layers of guitar fuzz that even My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields might find excessive), but the brothers now joined by a stable lineup of musical partners have considerably upped the tunefulness this time around, creating an album's worth of honest to goodness pop songs highlighted by the Velvet Underground-style drive of "Stayed So Late" and "A Million Safe Places," along with the turn of the '90s acid house shuffle "Waste My Time." (Think Stone Roses as remixed by Sonic Boom.) Bands like American Analog Set have spent their careers exploring similar sonic territory, but even on more gentle numbers like the becalmed, piano-based title track, Calm Right Down avoids that group's tendencies toward mere hazy prettiness. A big step up from Lockgroove's pleasant but forgettable debut, Calm Right Down matches memorable hooks to cool sonic textures, amplifying the best features of both." -- AllMusic
