Going for a mainly bluesy, jam-filled version of stoner rock, there’s more to it than that. Subtle nuances allow the songs to take on a whole different life, small tweaks here and there. And that’s what makes this album stand out. Hell, they threw in ‘Passage’, a bluegrass-tinged song and it works so well. These guys aren’t reinventing the wheel but they take what they have and what they know and throw it in a cauldron. Adding excellent musicianship to the concoction, their stew doesn’t have to cook long at all before it is ready. The end result? ‘Rhythm Of Elevation’!

‘Daze Of High Adventure’ is not only the longest song, over 14 and a half minutes, it is also Faith In Jane’s barnburner. Everything this band is has been blended together excellently here. Stoner, doom, jam and blues. Fantastic! ‘Farewell’ is a beautiful eulogy about dearly departed and musically it is akin to the great Southern Rock bands like The Allman Brothers fronted by the late Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone. Amazing and again, listen to that solo! ‘Return’ closes out ‘Rhythm Of Elevation’ and is another headtrip, and then some. These guys knows how to help you on the way to astral traveling and this track is the key to that. Close your eyes, sit back and go! Faith In Jane will show you amazing things.
