Also available as a sweet double LP in full color gatefold packaging, with a download code to download an MP3 version of the album. We've got half a dozen of these and they are already sold out from the label, supplies are limited!

Endless, indeed...I first heard these cats when they opened up for Circle last year in Washington, D.C., and I totally zoned out on their elliptical rock mantras. I remember making my way to their meager merch table as soon as their set was finished, only to find out that they had already sold out of all of the demo CDRs that they made for tour. Blast! I was informed that they had a new full length coming out on No Quarter though, and I've been waiting for this album to come out since. Now we've got Focus Level, the first album for No Quarter from the New York City quartet...fronted by the uber-maned Paul Major, who according to various sources is one of thee preeminent psych record collectors in the country, enough so that psych-vinyl collecting is apparently the dude's fucking career, Endless Boogie took form back in 1997 but spent years simply practicing before they played their first show, which was in 2001 opening for Stephen Malkmus. The only previous releases from the band are a pair of limited-press LPs - Endless Boogie I and II that have been out of print and highly valued amongst the psych vinyl collector trogs.

Now, whether or not this'll be yer cup of joe is entirely dependant on just how much you love the choogle. Endless Boogie are a bar band from the hypno-zone, playing boogie blooze jams with circular grooves so locked-in that the music turns into a kind of trance-inducing blues rock mantra, each track digging in on a single riff that the band rides on for up to ten minutes at a time. Dunno if there has ever been a ley-line between brooding longform blues rock jams and motorik/krautrock. If not, Endless Boogie carved it out, a hidden region between Canned Heat and Neu!. Majors' singing style is a weirdo mumble speakin' in tongues babble that shows up every once in a while in between the seven minute solos, sounding like some sort of crazed shaman drooling when he's not sounding alot like Mick Jagger. Pretty cool stuff, it certainly fits in on No Quarter alongside Circle and Pharaoh Overlord with their endless repetitive riffing and stoned vocalisations.
