This is the 2nd and more mature record by the
young Malmö, Sweden band. They used to be a 5 piece band but I can see they are
only 4 on this one. The opening track, Ocean of Ideas, really reminds me a lot
of local Danish, psych genus, Aron. Azure Maclise is a more heavy and dynamic
psychedelic rock song but still with melodic singing and guitar lines. The end
section is just a bunch of melodic rhythm guitar for 2 mins where they really
could have had a guitar solo or something interesting happening. Deldar is more
chilled out and has a bit of sitar and eastern feel and feels more improvised
and mysterious but then it ends before I felt it had really gone anywhere?
Strange. Side B starts with Solipsistic Wedding is a slower, beautiful track
but also quite dynamic. Broomstick Angel reminds me more of the 13th
Floor Elevator inspired song they had on the first record and is quite
different from the other songs with a quite different sound and feel based on a
simple skank like guitar. They’re Building Houses ends this pretty short record
(a bit over 30mins). This tracks is also more dynamic slow, more uptempo, a bit
psychedelic. Overall, it is a nice record but it did not really catch or
impress me much, sadly. It lacks some sort of spark or novelty.
