In 2008, Endless Boogie was nudged into the spotlight with Focus Level: 79 minutes of thick psychedelic rock spread over ten glorious tracks (11 tracks / 87 minutes if you bought the 2xLP).

It was the culmination of their 10 year existence, most of which was spent in a Lower East Side rehearsal space.

See, for years Endless Boogie existed for no one but themselves. Their ambitions, as guitarist Jesper Eklow told Time Out New York, went as far as, "getting together to jam every Tuesday, have a couple of beers.

Get Paul out of the house." But upon its release Focus Level was met with near-unanimous praise; being named "debut of the month" in Uncut Magazine, hailed as "note-perfect" by Rolling Stone and earning a loyal, growing fan base around the world.

Where to go from there? Led by front man Paul Major (real name Top Dollar) the group entered Rare Book Room studios in December 2009 and made a brilliant 2nd album.

Anchored by deep, heady grooves and epic guitar playing (this is probably the best "guitar record" made in years), the Boogie delivered seven fully realized studio tracks and one monumental rehearsal jam - sounding comfortable and focused, not weighed down by any pretension.

"Full House Head!!" - These are the first words shouted in the opening track. What do they mean exactly? Keep listening and that question soon becomes irrelevant.

Deep into the album you realize: it's Endless Boogie that makes sense, and the rest of the world that needs to explain itself.
