Album Review: Lachesis/Clotho/Atropos by Harmony Rockets
Excellent, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 8/10
The last time we heard from Harmony Rockets, the Mercury Rev offshoot project from Jonathan Donahue and Sean "Grasshopper" Mackowiak, was more than two decades ago with 1995's single track, album-length ambient noise blowout Paralyzed Mind of the Archangel Void. Harmony Rockets subsequently played in the studio a lot but never released anything other than a pair of limited issue live dates in 1998. Lachesis/Clotho/ Atropos is their second proper studio installment and features a host of guest participation.

Apart from a certain 1969 festival and being the hometown to such legends as Bob Dylan and Van Morrison in the late '60s, the musical artefact the town in the Catskill Mountains in New York state is most readily associated with must be The Band 's Music from Big Pink, recorded soon after the impromptu sessions with Bob Dylan known as The Basement Tapes. The album celebrates its 50th birthday this year. Released 30 years after that timeless masterpiece, Mercury Rev 's Deserter's Songs could well rank as number two.
