Number 4
To reach Number 4 we jump almost, hold on to something, two thousand points! That’s right, we land on the spot that holds my personal favorite album of the year. Released back in April on Stickman Records this is the album that inhabits that ‘free rock’ spirit and can clearly be viewed as rock for the ‘free spirit’. We had to add a few words ourselves when they landed the Number 1 spot on the April Doom Charts: “A live experience by this band is always a singular event. Adventurous, emotional and spiritual. It heals the soul and mends the heart. That is probably why they’ve already released quite a few of their concerts on vinyl. On their new studio album, with a new drummer in their midst they’ve managed to capture more of their live energy and serve it up as the perfect example of how to catch lightning in a bottle. Or perhaps more like fireflies, circling inside the jar before being released into the cosmos to perform that wonderful free rock dance. For that is what the band is about, release and freedom. And their psychedelic free rock searches its own way and knows, without any resistance, to find its way into your heart. With a magical feeling for subtleties and control, they manage to keep you enthralled for an hour and fifteen minutes long. Letting themselves be guided even more by the whims of the great magnet and lettings their egos disappear with every note. Just listen to that beautiful Josephine, that slow meandering start, the lyrics uttered by one of the three vocalists until the moment that his love is being sucked away by a storm. The way the whirling guitar lines ascend, not dark, but almost heavenly. You feel the pain, but also a form of serene understanding, which radiates and sounds so beautiful. Calmness and tranquility descends, like a faint summer breeze as you stroll through a flowery meadow, somewhere high in the mountains…”
