Tonzonen is back with another
release, their 20th. This is a label I have only discovered fairly
recently and I really am enjoying their releases a lot. This band hails from
Munich, Germany and have been around since 2012. The duo have been described as
making instrumental psychedelic shoegaze music…
The album features 4 long tracks and is released on black and magenta
coloured vinyl in 500 copies total. Side A starts off with a track that borrows
a guitar line from You know your only Dreaming from Hawkwind. Nice grooves and
bass lines as the guitars are more floating and ambient. Cool song with quite a build up at the end.
Buoyancy another nearly 9min track starts with some bass and then a slow spacey
build again. Clearly the guitarist,
Jochum is a big fan of Dave Brock,even though he does not do very make solos
and is more of an atmospheric guitar player. Anyway, after 3mins a more melodic
strummed guitar section kicks in and it goes like this until nearly the end but
with a cool build with the drums and bass. Trail of Thoughts is an 11min mellow
journey that slow builds up with a few more effects on the guitars here and
there but overall very mellow. Oxykotin starts with a bass line and some spacey
effected sounds as the guitar slowly fades up with a nice riff and then the
drums kick in! Nice groove and later some cool flanged out wah guitar. What a
great number. Cool record but I could use some more guitar solo!!!
