The aural equivalent of Black Sabbath dueling with David Bowie in a planetarium, U.S. Christmas's EAT THE LOW DOGS is definitive groove-based space rock. Each song is weighed down with extraordinarily thick riffs, yet the compositions are very spacious, allowing the listener to float through the music without a care in the world, even though this neo-psychedelic atmosphere is rattled ever so slightly by an undeniable punk influence. Boasting more dramatic sustenance than, say, Clutch, U.S. Christmas is a joyride through the ether.
