“‘Amnesia’ is a sprawling tapestry of classically inspired progressive psychedelia. A voyage through a mythical cosmic rock universe, layered with dense squalls of abstract sound collage and fields of freeform freakouts, all coloured with old-world folk melodies/modalities and pulsing with a funky rhythm section.”
“Psychedelic Doom From Outer Space. Set the control away from Earth. Monolithic riffs from beyond the galaxy. Motorik patterns flooding space. Vintage amplifiers erupting their glowing magma. Synthesizers blowing solar winds from the outer world. Endless echoes of fuzzy guitars.”
“Pilot Voyager is originally a onemanband of Ákos Karancz. Mixing improvisational guitar music with analog modulations, creating space to get lost between thoughts whatever they are noisy or calm.”
“Red Giant, the sophomore album by Barrows is fittingly massive in thematic scope as it is in sonic heft, an album about the life of a star and what happens after it dies, the band depicts the stages of celestial death throughout the album’s five epic tracks.”
“A treaty of stoner, psychedelic, blues and classical rock based on their lysergic staging that dazzled the critics and the public in several dozens of concerts throughout the Iberian peninsula… Mauna Loa is the biggest volcano in the world and it places us immediately: its new album is one dense sallad bowl of all the previous work, splashing every now and then some black music, Latino beats, improvisation and darkness. It smells just like a historical album because, just as with great dishes, we love the flavor but the elaboration is a mystery.”
“Electric Octopus are a new and exciting musical cabal that’ll take your mind on a weird and wonderful adventure.”
“The debut Album from Mexico City’s Rostro del Sol, is a musical collage of Blues, Jazz, Funk, Progressive and Psych rock from the golden eras of the 60’s and 70’s, which offers unexpected moments, developed trough diverse sonorities & intensities as the music goes on, each song is intended to tell a history on it’s own, just listen and set your imagination free to find the essence inside.”
“Dire Wolves (Just Exactly Perfect Sisters Band) put forth a sound of ecstatic improvisation, each member documenting coordinate points in the higher dimensions of cosmic free-rock. The music lies somewhere near the nebulous intersection of psych, kosmische beat and spiritual jazz. These are exploratory journeys, transportive trance-based experiments in vertical listening, totally collaborative and often forming spontaneous compositions. The focus is more about feeling than any specific approach to playing. Psychic rock for the mind and body: breathe deep and grow towards that light, dig.”
“Five young guys from Munich. Skilled and tight on their instruments and deeply rooted in the heritage of all kind of wild forms of jazz, krautrock and psychedelic music. The kids began to jam together when starting to study music in 2012. Being from Munich, a town where legendary Kraut Rock bands like Amon Düül, Guru Guru and Embryo came from, the Karaba guys are obviously influenced by these german kraut and psychedelic sounds.”
