Lucid Planet – Lucid Planet II

 

 

Lucid Planet – Lucid Planet II
Self released – 2020
Rock, Prog, Metal, Psych
Rated: *****

We mentioned Lucid Planet back in August 2020 on a Quick Fire Friday segment when they had just sent out the first single Anamnesis for their new album Lucid Planet II. The album is out now and it is every bit as good as we expected it to be. Or maybe even better. They’ve taken prog rock and sharpened it, they gave it an earthy spin and they added so many layers that the end result will have a dizzying effect, even on the most seasoned listener of progressive rock. We believe the members to have shamanistic qualities that give their intense technical prowess an unpretentious and totally natural edge. Tribalistic elements, the use of didgeridoo, it all adds to the transcendental nature of the entire record. While sounding entirely modern they thrust forward into a realm of spirit altogether more ancient and intuitive. And the spiritual journey takes no less than an hour and almost ten minutes to complete its circle and bite itself in the tail, like the alchemic symbol of infinity likes to do. Like every humming bird and bumblebee, every sunflower, cloud and every tree… Listening… From the magical rainforests to the highest peaks of the Himalaya, while listening, every corner of the earth seems to smile at me...

Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday


Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday 

Friday has come and gone. So has the week. Another one filled with unbelievable sadness about the state of the world and the human spirit across the earth. But we shall refrain from going into those territories here and now, we just wanted Friday to last a little longer. Cause we are still in need of some fast action! Some Quick Fire Friday action! So here we are! And we know, we know, the albums and bands deserve more than the few words we will jot down here. More attention and more of our time! But there is so much out there and we just simply cannot ever do it all justice. So here it is. The Stoner HiVe Quick Fire Friday. And its burns hot like molten lava! 


Sebastian Döbbelin - Una Vuelta Más

One man band Sebastian Döbbelin from Albacete, Spain delivered with Una Vuelta Más a perfect laidback instrumental summer jam that resonates with everything we love that has come from the desert. Five lazy stoner tracks that will lift you spirit and your Corvette Summer cocktail to toast the sun. Very sweet stuff!

Lucid Planet – Anamnesis

The Lucid Planet trio from Melbourne is about to release their sophomore album II and to wet our appetites they sent out the first single Anamnesis. And wetting our appetite it does, progressive, psychedelic, technical and yet very earthy. And judging from this first single they will surpass their debut album by miles in quality. Can’t wait to hear it all!

Falcon Haptics - Wolf King

Have you heard Wolf King yet? The psycho’s from Falcon Haptics have released a video for it at the end of July. It will feature on their full-sized album that will be released in October and it is damn tasty! The music that is, the video on the other hand has it moments, but also a few dubious imagery. A weird huge orange sheriff’s hat? But it is corona proof and the heavy sound makes you long for more of the Wolf King and more of Falcon Haptics!

Bad Blood Recovery – Sweet Taste

Out on Future Noise Recordings is the new single Sweet Taste by Bad Blood Recovery. The now four from Oxford produce some very intense and heavy blues; a bittersweet electric atmosphere charged with loads of emotion and strong lyrical content. Recorded in a single take Sweet Taste is a promise that holds of on delivering, no instant gratification here, Bad Blood Recovery knows how to extend the longing and makes you appreciate that even more…

Stereolith – Stuffy Air

German foursome Stereolith delivered their debut album Escape Velocity through Barhill Records / Cargo Records back in July and sent out the first single Stuffy Air in wild video form. Loud and dirty stoner rock with that surf and skate vibe. Groovy and spacey moments and a lot of style! These cats deliver the heavy goodness for your perfect summer day of rock! Stereolith for your Californian day in the sun!
