This
is a pretty new Finnish band from Helsinki. This is their 2nd
release of psychedelic rock. On your Porch starts this record off with a copy
of the Hawkwind- Master of the Universe riff taken in a slightly new stoned hypnotic
direction with some different psychedelic layers and keyboards. The guitar riff
is basically the same though. C.S. changes things totally and at the beginning
reminds me of Syd Barrett and Octopus Syng a bit. It is also a hypnotic track
(especially the end). Midnight is a beautiful floating track with a calm vocal
but a steady drive. Lady Appear starts off with a more mysterious beginning but
soon a more happy vibe pervades the track and there is a nice guitar solo that
guides the track to the next section. Flip the record over for the track Old
Goat. This track is slow and dominated by the keyboards but then gets quite
psychedelic as it builds up. Cool song. Don’t you know is next and features
some violin by Petra is a slower ballad like track with mostly just a kick drum
and guitar. Eternal Clouds has some female vocals as well and is a more pop
psych track with a funny happy vibe. Shaman of the Sun is has a very repetitive
drum and bass line over which the other instruments create the magic. The vocal
is quite special. The track Three finishes off this album. Pretty cool record
for people who like melodic rock with a slight psychedelic edge at times. Fans
of Fruits der mer Label bands would probably dig this band. Enjoy.
