    Huge fan. I was turned onto you guys through Ro/I built the sky, so beers for him. 'Meridian' is amazing and the complex riffs and changes I initially found disordered sounding became amazing after a number of listens. I think sorting out the complexity of Meridian through multiple listens might be making me smarter. Hope you tour the US (specifically San Francisco).
