If you’re not already in love, this album approximates its euphoric stupor, like when Natalie Portman played New Slang for Zach Braff in Garden State. Hell, Montreal’s High Dials may change your life. Listening to Holy Ground is like swimming through warm, deliberately fuzzy psychedelia. Groovy 60s-themed tunes are the staple, and an infectious sweetness winds through the blend of garage rock riffs, sublime bass licks and militaristic drumming, as in Our Time Is Coming Soon. Tether that to airy vocals and you’re whisked away to an idyllic fantasy land. All that without the psychological repercussions of hallucinogenic drugs. Far out, man.
