Dool – Summerland

 
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!
