7. Sleep
Sept. 9 at Logan Square Auditorium
The reunion of this revered stoner-rock trio exceeds the hype, with a set as ominous and inexorable as a molton-lava flow. Doom-saturated riffs and brick-layer drums celebrating a certain sacred leaf descend like a heavy blanket on an overflow crowd. Sleep begs the question, Can music be heavy and yet somehow mellow at the same time?
