BARONESS 'YELLOW & GREEN' 2LP

Channeling the alienation and sonic grandeur of Pink Floyd’s The Wall, erstwhile Southern sludge merchants Baroness largely left metal behind when they unveiled this stunning double album in 2012. Spearheaded by thundering single “Take My Bones Away” and rumbling rocker “March to the Sea,” the rest of Yellow & Green offers shimmering melodies (“Cocainium,” “Eula,” “Collapse”), quirky indie rock (“Psalms Alive,” “Mtns. (The Crown & Anchor)”) and wistful folk (“If I Forget Thee, Low Country”).
