This group is a duo of duo Hanna Östergren/Jerry Johansson. Hanna has been in a number of psychedelic bands like HIlls, Laughing Eye, and DJINN. Jerry is known for his sitar playing and leading the act Grovjobb. This most excellent album features 5 tracks. Some of the tracks have bass and drums and others are just floating, eastern inspired psych, like being in a dream. Remains starts things off like an Indian raga and good Sunday morning piece of music with some drum accompaniment. Silence continues with another raga but Hanna adds in some Rhodes and other instruments along the way like the Shruti box. Still is a very short under 3min Rhodes and Mellotron track with some interesting other additions to keep it anything but normal!! Side B starts off with the track Mountain and some nice banjo with some original and traditional parts. Hanna plays the bass and drums on this one. After a while it really builds up in tempo and reminds me of something Hills might do but without the banjo!! Dawn ends the album with a 12min raga with some field recordings of birds, a drone, flute and a cool vibe. Nice album for a sunday morning…
