Go Mahhh – Doppelgänger
Noisolution – 2026
Rock, Kraut, Psych, Garage, Indie
Rated: ****

I adore this languid, sunny version of kraut and psych. And that’s what Doppelgänger is all about. As the needle drops on the record, the Go Mahhh four pull listeners into a haze of swirling fuzz, hypnotic grooves and evening sun psychedelics straight out of the Berlin underground. This is dream music. This is that slightly feverish, slightly sweaty and especially giddy feeling you might experience dancing with the girl of your dreams as the sun slowly sets… 

Shoegaze textures might be colliding with heavy stoner riffs on some moments, for the most part though we are dancing through all sorts of krautrock repetition. High Mountain opens the set, the evening, the trip with trance like intensity! While tracks like Anatoliosis and Happy Satan’s Reign drift between cosmic exploration and raw, earth-shaking power. Or is that because you are falling so madly in love that you feel the world whirl around you? 

They have walls of guitar, which seem to bend over you or embrace you all around, they are hairy, fuzzy walls and you want to cuddle them and fondle all the subtle details… Fluttering flute lines, shimmer synth work, tablas, vocals drenched in echo and kaleidoscopic mirroring. Those minor or more Eastern influences. It is unpredictable, the pulse of this record. The heartbeat that skips. Just like when you are falling in love. Take a chance, say yes, and keep saying yes.

It sounds like Go Mahhh continuously said yes to whatever came next when they were writing and recording Doppelgänger. Skirting around edges, never polishing the rawness, making the fever run hot and the party vibe even hotter. Songs are allowed to stretch, meander, wander, get of course and explode with fearless energy! And it’s that twitchy unpredictability that makes the album so compelling. And yes, it will make the sun set and the gaze into the eyes of who are you are dancing with seem to last forever…
