Dredg are the modern masters of cathartic, atmospheric rock. Their debut concept album, ‘Leitmotif’ has grown on me over the years and I would consider it to be one of my top ten albums. ‘Same Ol’ Road’ is from their follow-up, ‘El Cielo’ which is another great release, although a little mellower than the first. I wouldn’t bother with their third studio album, ‘Catch Without Arms’ as they have gone in more of a pop direction and the music is far less interesting. They are from San Jose and thankfully they sometimes play shows around here where they feature their older catalog.
The music video matches the creativity of the music; I really like this stop-motion animation. I have to add that Dredg is a difficult band to consume in snippets, if you like this song I recommend listening to the album start-to-finish.
