OBSCURE SPHINX - Anaesthethic Inhalation Ritual

Artist:  Obscure Sphinx
Album: Anaesthethic Inhalation Ritual
Year:  2011
Genre:  Doom / Post-Rock

This is one of the most interesting albums I’ve heard in the last 5 years.  Don’t get freaked by the “post-rock” tag and think this is going to be another Xerox of Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky, Pelican or any of the other 100 indecipherable copycats out there.  Obscure Sphinx are more of a Pink Floyd and Isis in a blender combination with a dash of Electric Wizard.  The band is excellent at flowing between moods and has an extremely unique and talented female singer that handles the changing temperament phenomenally.  They are breath of much needed fresh air in both doom and post-rock music.
