The first time I saw Lockgroove play was several years ago at an infamous yearly party in West Philadelphia. I have seen then whenever possible since, and they have never disappointed, and continued to improve. Their latest CD continues to impress me.

Sleeping on the Elephant Fog is one of those rare modern albums one can find which plays like a single song from the beginning to the end. Atmospheric and spacy throughout, Lockgroove managed to temper their effects laden tendencies by mixing with a plethora of other classic sounds, such as math rock and folk, creating a unique texture which will be instantly loved by fans of Pink Floyd, Lush, My Bloody Valentine, and the Cure. The album starts off softly, building in a gradual crescendo to their faster tunes. The first 2 songs on the disc are Safer Side - a very mellow, dreamy tune with beautiful percussion accenting - and Chinese New Year, which could almost be categorized as electronica/etherial with heavy chorus on the guitars. These lay the beautiful groundwork for an album which has been in my heavy rotation since I was given a copy. Lockgroove gets back to their ass-kicking roots at about track five of the disc, with Engine Drone, which powers forward like a cross between Lilys and Poster Children. This is one of the more radio friendly songs on the disc, and one where you will want to crank up the volume. The entire kitchen sink is thrown into Blues and Reds and Keep Running; which seem to switch between a Floyd/Beatles sound and ambient/electronica at a breathtaking pace. Tracks 9 and 12 are the epics of the album. Track 9, Wait for the in Between is a beautifully constructed song with more textures than I could count and wonderful beginning, middle and end. After, the next two songs mellow things out a little bit with some folk style mixed in with the effects. Never Satisfied, the 12th and final track on the album, brings the whole disc together in wonderful fashion. A 20 minute long effects jam with tons of flange and distortion, it brings the album to a close with a bang. There is nothing like having a great last song on an album to wrap it up in style, and Lockgroove manages to close out the album perfectly, by making is seem like you have just listened to one long song.
