Wooden Fields – Wooden Fields

Wooden Fields – Wooden Fields
Argonauta Records – 2021
Rock, Blues, Seventies
Rated: ***

It will be released tomorrow. The debut self-titled album by the Wooden Fields trio. Featuring guitarist Sartez Faraj from Three Seasons, Mouth Of Clay. Siena Root bassist Sam Riffer and Fredrik Jansson Punkka from Witchcraft, Angel Witch & more on the drums. So indeed, a veritable who is who from the Swedish heavy rock scene and this of course immediately promises a lot for the debut release. It delivers the goods without a doubt, but perhaps due to the high expectations, not completely. We are treated to seven compositions that will surely transport you to the seventies and not only that, but often to a more soft-spoken Jimi Hendrix concert, where you are sure to ride your dirt-bike around the rings of Saturn and then take a breather on a colorful shag carpet. It’s fuzzy, bluesy, soulful and electric. Vintage by default, the bopping rhythms, the soulful vocals and damn tasty guitar work are there to bring an ode to nostalgia. Three cats that that know what they want to do and what to bring; but did not manage to capture lightning in a bottle out there in the fields. Out there in the Wooden Fields… This time around…

Polarbeers – Stayin’ Alive

We dig the Polarbeers from Milano, Italy. They do their very own thing without giving a flying fuck about anything or anyone. They merge punk with grunge, hardrock and stoner and did that to an awesome degree on their full-sized self-titled debut. And now they’re back with a teasing cover from that lovely disco fever delivered by the Bee Gees: Stayin’ Alive! Put on your dancing shoes; it’s party time!!

Three Seasons – Familiar Song

Their tasty sixties and seventies psychedelic jams have been whirling through many of our heads for a while. Well, the Swedish acid rockers Three Seasons are about to return with their new album Grow. But before they do, feast your mind on the first single: Familiar Song. A groovy track that slowly builds into something that has you traveling back in time. Ten minutes of perfect golden era Hammond and riffs that tune you in and turn you on. It’s all happening!

A wicked five some that has just released a first EP called Harbingers of Glory that not only provides you with the horns and the riffs; it infuses some hardrock, a bit of stoner and sweet classic soloing to have your pledging allegiance before the moon has waxed...
