For Kosmiche fans, Does it Look Like I’m Here? by the Ohio trio Emeralds has long held mythical status, and now this truly astonishing record, originally released in 2010 with a very limited run, finally gets the wider vinyl release it so richly deserves. The zenith of Emeralds’ distinctive yawning cosmic sound, the LP is a pure psychonautical sonic delight for the ears, the stereo spectrum suffused with John Elliott and Steve Hauschildt’s shimmering arpeggios, dusty, melodically dynamic swells, rippling FM textures, and canyon-wide waveshapes, and Mark McGuire’s sublime cascading guitar lines. Within each track of this remarkable 2xLP album Emeralds build whole universes of sound so exhilarating, so all-enveloping that you'll be more than a little bummed when it comes time to splash down.
