I have been following
these guys since they were called the Mind Flowers. Wow.. now they have 4
records out and have toured all over Europe and really created a following for
their 60s sound. The band is not into long songs and jamming at all on their
records. They stay very focused with their vision with 10 new songs. The album starts off with Young Love Old Hate
and a groovy 60s flow and vibe. Nice
lyrics. The band has made a video for Hits of Acid, so check it out below.
Loose Ends is such a great track. One of the best tracks on the LP. Children of
the Night is next and features the organ and acoustic guitar to change the mood
and feel a lot. Shape Shifter is quite
laid back but the main guitar line is a bit heavier as it builds up. Quite stoney and a bit psychedelic vocals
here and there. Side B starts off with
Enter the Mirage reminds me of the End by the Doors to start off and features a
sitar. It starts slowly but quickly speeds up and nice groove kicks in. Soul
Sacrifice and Join the Dead features Erik (Siena Root) on Hammond. The former
you can see the video below.
Join the
Dead is about as funky as the band gets on this record. Nice sound on this
track. Sun Drifter is a bit more slick
with a sort of pad keyboard that creates a strange feeling. Love the jangly guitar line on this track.
UFO is the last track and the keyboard plays a more major role in the sound and
Emil sings in a very light way.
This is really excellent 60s inspired record with a nice selection of
great and diverse songs. The more you listen to it the more it grabs you. Some
nice positive lyrics as well. Great job guys!!
