    Personnel: Justin Maranga (vocals, guitar, 12-string guitar, electric sitar); J. Christopher Watkins (vocals, piano, organ); Chico Foley (vocals, keyboards, electronics); Nick Long (vocals, bass guitar, fretless bass); Brandon Pierce (drums, percussion).
    Los Angeles-based heavy-psych quartet Ancestors have, as their name suggests, thoroughly absorbed the work of their late-'60s and early-'70s forebears. They tend to go for a doomy, psychedelic sound reminiscent of Deep Purple, MEDDLE-era Pink Floyd and Uriah Heep rather than the amped-up stomp of Grand Funk Railroad or Hawkwind's spacy explorations. Their second album, quite clearly designed to be heard on double-vinyl as it includes four lengthy pieces, features as much organ as guitar, and the vocals are sometimes a hoarse roar and other times are delivered in a group singalong style that recalls rock bands affiliated with cults. Though there are few new ideas here, Ancestors have cherry-picked the best ones from 35 years ago, and longhairs who think rock music's been on a downward slide since 1975 will love this album.
