All the short-run CDRs, improv jams and general hippy mystique provided by the current wave of the "new, weird, America" certainly rock the mind, but rarely move the body. Avatar is head music that rocks both. Previous Comet's discs suggested a great live band but remained a tad arcane for your average squares (like ourselves) who require a little groove in between all the psychedelia. From the hypnotic repetition of ‘Sour Smoke', a Krautrock-esque marching song that riffs on for almost 9 minutes, to the 3 minute fury of ‘Holy Teeth', a blast worthy of Motorhead, this is the first time we've made sense of this bands madness.
