Uffe Lorenzen - Magisk Realisme - Top 20 Push

 Top 20 of 2020 album push post!

 

As we approach that jump off date of December 13 for the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown of 2020; and as we see all the lists rolling in and all those wonderfully chosen albums, we count ourselves lucky for all that participation and we count ourselves extremely lucky to see all those different and weird choices being made. It also me wonder about some albums that seem to fall off those lists at the end of the year, the ones that I assumed would end higher or are so favored by myself or the Stoner HiVe Team that I asked them if they would want to say a few words about the album they would love to see end up high or even on the number 1 position of this year’s Stoner HiVe To 20 Countdown


To kick things off, here’s that album pusher promotion post of the honorable Doktor420!  

Uffe Lorenzen - Magisk Realisme

Uffe? WhoTheFuck is Uffe? No, I guess we all know Uffe! You might know him under the moniker Lorenzo, the mastermind of Baby Woodrose, many of his other bands or any of his solo records. He released his 3rd solo album "Magisk Realisme" in September. I like his calm voice and can also dig his acoustic Danish psych folk but what i missed, was the energy laden garage rock of Baby Woodrose. In Magisk Realisme he infused more Lorenzo vibe, so we get back my beloved Heavy Psych Folk Rock - imagine Arbouretum ate Baby Woodrose seeds. It's pure Uffe! Beside few additional instruments (cello, trumpet, pedal steel guitar), in some songs, the drummer of On Trial and frontman of Spids Nøgenhat and Dragontears played all by himself. Check this dude's bands out, if you like Monster Magnet, obviously a major influence. And check out Magisk Realisme, one of the best albums of 2020!

Stoner HiVe’s Top 5 Artists listened to last week…


Stoner HiVe’s 
Top 5 Artists listened to last week… 



Nothing more but a quick list of our most listened to records last week. The ones we kept spinning, while all you wonderful people sent their lists of favorite records of 2017 to us. We had a lot of work entering them all in for the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown of 2017 which will start in 2 days! So, two days left boys & girls, get your lists in now! Send them HERE ! But what did we spin you ask? A lot of Uffe Lorenzen’s new solo record Galmandsværk out on Bad Afro Records and whole a lot of Red Scalp’s record Lost Ghosts. The Destroyer album by Magda-Vega suddenly popped up on my radar. It’s weird, it’s dangerous and that’s just how we like it! Another one that entered out vision was Mountains of Madness and their Kick In The Guts release. Heavy, fuzzy stoner groove with a punch! And of course, the master composers of Clouds Taste Satanic. We cannot stop spinning the new The Glitter Of Infinite Hell album. Their best rock symphony yet! 

Don't forget... TWO days left to send us your list of favorite albums!

Uffe Lorenzen – Galmandsværk


Uffe Lorenzen – Galmandsværk
Bad Afro Records – 2017
Rock, Folk, Psych, World
Rated: ****

What an amazing time that must have been. Those ten weeks on that small volcanic island Gomera near the coast of Morocco, where Uffe Lorenzen did nothing but write new songs and meander about life, love and everything in between. The result is his first solo album under his own name, Galmandsværk. We’ve been going wild on all of his musical efforts for years now. On Trial, Spids Nogenhat, Dragontears and first and foremost Baby Woodrose. With whom he released the amazing Freedom album last year. Which we still spin regularly! But during those ten weeks he explored his inner self, and might have gone right there, towards the end of its tether. The result is an amazing psychedelic folk album with all sorts of worldly influences and an amazing array of different instruments. We can hear the sitar, bansuri, hurdy gurdy, violin and a few more. All of his explorations are done in Danish and tell a highly personal tale. (Which unfortunately might be lost on many of us who aren’t fluent in Danish.) Ten stories that delve into his thoughts about every aspect of life; but which; even without speaking Danish, will make you drift off into the sunset or focus your thoughts on a single task before you. The ten songs all seem to have a different ability, but it is always one that sounds universal, timeless and absolutely beautiful!
