Dool – Summerland
Prophecy – 2020
Rock, Doom, Stoner,
Metal
Rated: *****
The sound of that
first album Here Now There Then has been distilled, condensed and expanded for their new
record Summerland. Dool knows how to perfectly capture the duality of life, the
different sides of human concepts like life, death, love, sex, sins, morality
in both music and lyrics. I dug that first album, we definitely did, but it
wasn’t until we saw them live on Graspop that it really and truly clicked for me.
And that click becomes even bigger with their new record. The different layers
of guitar, that sweet airy sound, almost modest but very precise, those wide
compositions and that almost catchy vibe. It all sounds so crisp and crystal clear;
which offset to the different emotions and atmospheres the tracks evoke make
for one huge trip through melancholy landscapes, mysterious labyrinths and huge
expanses of despair but also hope. It quickly becomes an almost religious
experience listening to Dool. Lifting you up and letting you go, letting you
soar and lifting the curtain so you can see just a tiny bit of what lies beyond. Summerland is waiting for you!
