about

review from Shoddy Merchandise (www.shoddymerchandise.com):

"Big and dreamy, and definitely up to the challenge of filling an airplane hanger with monolithic, delay sobbing guitar melodies, Valdosta, Georgia’s Major Barger delivers the goods on their Fleur-de-lis EP.

I am struck immediately by the seemingly contradictory realization that this band can do “enormous” and “gentle” at the same time. Their sound is a slow burning one- insistent melodies layered thoughtfully with delay, and liberal doses of static, which incredibly, never seems to overwhelm the song. Post Rock is implied, with moments that recall the first Tortoise record, or Mogwai, but there is clearly a more melodic intent here and a refreshing spacey-ness that is only buoyed by the production. This EP often sounds like you are floating high above it, hearing it loud and clear from far below, but digging more on it’s reverberation off the clouds surrounding you. Yeah, and it’s real good with pot, too."

review from Gimme Sound (www.gimmesound.com):

"Clouds floating north from Valdosta, Georgia's own, Major Barger lives in a stunningly gorgeous fog of chiming bells, ringing guitars, sweeping delays, shimmering organs, and a sound that musicologists must have unearthed from a 1967 time capsule buried beneath psychedelic London. Drenched and drifting in the ethereal and the celestial, their Fleur-de-lis EP is a journal drawn from ancient space and dreaming."
