ETERNAL ELYSIUM – SEARCHING LOW & HIGH – 2005 (JAP) vintage hard rock/heavy psych/stoner rock

Japan's Eternal Elysium returns after a three year absence with Searching Low & High, their fourth album. Their last two albums, 2000’s Spiritualized D and 2002’s Share, are heralded as benchmarks in the realm of heavy psych rock. Although the sound’s a bit more streamlined and straightforward, there are still plenty of moments where guitarist Yukito Okazaki creates a sonic tapestry of beautiful noise. New bassist Tana Haugo acquits herself nicely, meshing perfectly with drummer Antonio Ishikawa and adding a thick groove. Actually, groove’s the most important aspect of Searching Low & High. Whether it’s a moody acoustic number or a guitar driven rocker, Eternal Elysium make sure the music keeps you moving. In the end, they make music that hits the head and the heart.
