Rated: ****
I thought something might be wrong with my socials. For when I went to look for the Facebook page for Maragda, to put as a link underneath these few words about their latest single The Reckless / Evil Seed, it looked like they only had 85 followers?!? That is simply not possible! And then we found out they lost control of their earlier page… So, everyone out there, visit their page and give them some love! Cause everyone I know fell in love with their self-titled progressive and psychedelic masterpiece from 2021. We wrote quite some words about it, which you can read here. Or you can just continue reading up about The Reckless / Evil Seed, cause we’re already pretty late writing this one up. For they released these two tracks early June. But as you know, there’s so much great stuff released on a daily basis, we can’t cover it all, or on time. We simply try to do our best. And so does the trio from the Barcelona area in Spain called Maragda. The Reckless starts the single, it’s a rush forward, a smash ‘n grab beginning that reminds of metal love, speeds like garage and glides like a psychedelic smoke swirl. Especially that guitar, furiously riffing when it all begins and after a while wailing out, wilding away and going all out freak. Sublime stuff! Evil Seed continues this two-track single’s enchanting beauty, the vocal melodies and the harmonies really stand out on this one. Grungier, this track bounces back from all the walls around you and give it that rounded atmosphere. Something they also excelled at on their self-titled album. Choppier drums, floating vocals, throbbing bass work and electrifying guitar, Evil Seed gives you all you need. And these two tracks do give you two sides of Maragda, both of them adding to the kaleidoscopic poetry of these three individuals. Delightful and it once again warrants everyone falling in love with Maragda…
