The
San Francisco psychedelic rock band Glitter Wizard returns with their 2nd
full length record. This one is really super cool and totally blew me away. The
opening track Worship the Devil is a great number and reminds me a lot of old
Witchcraft! The beginning has this 60s style organ that throws you off but
later it takes a totally different direction including some awesome flute
playing. A very dynamic song. Blood of the Serpent starts with a more slow
heavy stoned rhythm and spacey vocal. The organ line is once again spot on and
compliments the heavy guitar riff. Motörider is a catchy uptempo rock and roll
number. Space is a long track that starts with a lot of drumming by Fancy
Cymballs before the main hypnotic guitar and vocal kicks in. The middle section
has some really spacey keyboards and flute and slowly the psychedelic guitar
creeps in as the track builds up again.
Ragdoll
starts off side B and is an uptempo rocker with a really cool keyboard line and
hard riffing guitar. The horn line makes it a bit crazy and you got love
Wendy’s vocal. The mid-section has a cool wah guitar part with some spacey
synths, organ and vocals as the track just keeps evolving and never coming back
to where it started. Spaced! Wizard Wagon is a really catchy track with some
cool lyrics (“We can all get high in my wizard wagon!”). Sunlit Wolves is a
forest acoustic blues track with flute. Big Sur is along spaced out psychedelic
monster of a track. It statts off really spacey but then the band hit a really
swinging groove as the organ leads the way and then heavy guitar and spacey
synth sweeps take us out to another universe! This is a super cool record and
one of my favourites this year..
