Propane Propane – Indigo
Planetfuzz – 2011
Rock, Stoner, Sludge, Doom,
Rated: *****
Our four Swedish friends from Propane Propane already conquered our hearts and minds with their self-titled album from 2009. Filled with heavy riffs, loads of psychedelics and grinding bass-lines it was as tasty as it gets. With their new album Indigo however, they are upping the ante. Something seems to be at stake here; as if a higher force has taken control of their instruments and guides them along a path of excellence. It sends shivers up your spine and makes you blood tingle in weird anticipation. It is as heavy and crushing as their earlier work but with more restraint and measured deliverance. It might be the substitute guitar player or it might be their growth as song smithies; but their massive fuzz sound, intense structuring and brisk but lethargic rhythms have turned into a cerulean monstrous beast. One that eats tasty things for lunch… Errgh?! Propane Propane, that savory shit that propels!
