All the elements that made their two tracks on Night Letters are present and accounted for � the thick, molasses-like distortion, the bluesy, stoner riffs that have just enough classic rock to �em, and the hooks that creep up from behind and kick you in the ass. Wooly Mammoth is one of those bands that has a timeless sound � they deftly avoid coming off as a retro act. They further spice things up with some more out-there psychedelic noodlings, such as on �The Middle Way,� and the doom stomp of the title track. With the last song, �Mammoth Bones,� they pull out all the stops, laying down an intensely heavy 11 minute Zeppelin-by-way-of-Sabbath groover that features none other than Wino on second guitar. It�s apparent that with The Temporary Nature, the band�s working from a wide range of influences. Even better, they�re taking those influences and channeling them into a cohesive sound.
