Gnod – Chronicles Of Gnowt (Vol 1)
Rocket Recordings - 2026
Alternative, Psychedelic Rock, (Heavy) Psych
Rated: 

Gnod, those chameleons from Salford that don’t give a fuck about expectations and do whatever they want with ‘total’ and ‘freedom’ being the key words when it comes down to making music, almost casually present their new album ‘Chronicles of Gnowt (Vol 1)‘. Like one would expect, it’s completely different from what they’ve done before and starts with a beautiful, short instrumental in which acoustic guitar is the focal point. There’s another five and a half minute interlude midway through that follows the same pattern, but this is mainly sixties-based psychedelic rock with acid-tinged kraut soundscapes and a production that seems to come straight from said period, but feels contemporary at the same time. With its natural flow, ‘Chronicles of Gnowt (Vol 1)‘ seems like a story unfolding before your eyes. A fantastic album that’ll make you eager to hear volumes 2 and 3, as this is the first instalment of a trilogy.
