"Hometown instrumental heroes Mushroom Giant are up next. This band has been around for a decade and a half or so, and this shows in both their following and their ridiculous tightness and confidence as a band. They open with a quiet, brooding intro that sends shivers down spines and you can tell that something major is brewing. When it comes, it is beautiful and the crowd is in instrumental heaven. This band are not really stoner rock, not really post-rock or post-metal, not really psychedelic rock, not truly prog, but rather they combine elements of all of the above and plenty more besides, channelling it all into something that is very much their own. You could say they exist in a genre of one. In fact, their sound is almost orchestral in its layering of lines and textures. They put on a fabulous show, too, the crazy rear-screens only adding visual delight to their commanding musical presence and skill. The Mushroom Giant live experience is a truly memorable one." - Rod Whifield
