'Pay attention, because Your Black Star are about to knock your socks off.
Sound From the Ground, their first proper full-length, is colossal -- a lightning bolt straight out of Kentucky that's on par with the best music Louisville has offered us over the years. Swathes of effects-heavy guitar and Drew Osborn's propulsive drumming provide the perfect post-rock backdrop for Jeremy Johnson's vocals, which are confident and demand attention; and producer Kevin Ratterman (ex-Elliott) brings his own distinct stoner haze to proceedings -- his studio wizardry has never sounded better. Your Black Star have been biding their time, but Sound from the Ground suggests
they won't remain under the radar for long.'
