Bigelf are sort of the white version of Lenny Kravitz. They're astoundingly accurate rock revivalists in terms of songwriting, instrumentation, and recording techniques. They also cobble together styles that in their heyday would never have co-existed: Hendrix-ish blues, Beatlesque pop, Floydian psychedelia. Unlike Kravitz, however, Bigelf are much more sonically daring. They specialize in blowing up basic germs of ideas into Technicolor fantasies light years away from their origins.

Think Pink Floyd, King Crimson, The Beatles and Black Sabbath thrown into a blender and regurgitated and that's this album. A band which has somehow managed to stay so submerged and underground, that you'd think they were terrible. Cheat the Gallows is the band's fourth album released in 2006. I only got into them by going to a Dream Theater concert in Manchester, and was blown away by them. Bigelf are Damon Fox (vocals/keyboards) Ace Mark (guitar) Duffy Snowhill (bass) Froth (drums). The album starts off with Gravest show on Earth. Keyboards open up into straight and blunt riffs and militaristic drumming.
