If you enjoy fine quality, technical electric guitar playing with a bluesy, Western feel, People Are Machines by Skelephant may be for you.

It’s more than just that though. Chad Vickers creates an entire psychedelic landscape with his music that would be right at home in a Jim Jarmusch movie or as one of the tracks for The Lost Highway.

Lyrics are relatively scant on this album due to the guitar focus but where they exist, they’re ponderous and deep and well worth a second, third and fourth listen.
