Influenced by: Can, Pink Floyd, Amon Dull

Notable: The group recently went into the studio and recorded an album, Sun on Sun, in only six days. Each of the songs was finished in the first or second take, almost entirely live in the studio, Jennings Carney said. It will probably be released in the fall, he said.

Quotable: "It's more expansive," Carney said of the new album. "t's raw. It's definitely raw. I think it's really great."
