The vacuous, meditative landscapes Ancestors construct speak louder than the stoner posturing the music may imply on first impression. It sinks in with each gradual increment, leisurely unfolding its psychedelic layers with an introspective stance. And yet, “Invisible White” is nothing short of pompous – with chamber instrumentation making its appearance in the song’s prologue, it naturally coalesces with a surge of guitars and modular synthesizers to unfold a uniquely textural experience akin to its 70s progressive forbearers. Studied and graceful, the Los Angeles quintet creates a barren mood that hardy flaunts in excess, palpitating a rhythmic pulse that takes a life of its own as the pieces fall into place. "Invisible White EP" was just released on June 21st via Tee Pee Records. – Juan Edgardo Rodríguez
