Blue Cathedral is the third album from Comets on Fire and their first for Sub Pop. It is also the Bay area band's most varied and richly textured album yet. With their first two albums, (2001's self-titled debut and 2002's Field Recordings from the Sun on Ba Da Bing!) they established themselves as flag-bearers of modern psychedelia. Their trademark sound is here enriched by more structured, keyboard-driven jams, churning Blue Oyster Cult-ish chooglers and slow burners reminiscent of Harvest-era Pink Floyd. Comets' core of Ethan Miller (guitar, vox), Noel Harmonson (echoplex), Ben Flashman (bass) and Utrillo Belcher (drums) has been augmented in an official capacity by one Ben Chasny (otherwise known as Six Organs of Admittance) on second guitar.
