Rip KC – Spinguölf

It’s hard to describe the beautiness of this music – and even harder to describe the music in itself! This Spanish trio plays some kind of laid back psychedelic rock with funky guitars and jazzy drums. They started out almost fifteen years ago as a hardcore punk band but has developed into one of the most trippy and inventive bands I’ve head in a long time. I can listen to this record over and over again and still get intrigued by the pure beauty of the dreamy soundscabes they deliver. It’s also hard to compare this band to anything else because they don’t really sound like any other bands in my book. What’s even more surprising is that they suddenly burst out in 1.20 min of psychedelic punk rock in the song: “Punk is Dead” – hell yeah, punk is so dead! Many of the songs are bound together by short trippy interludes which never seems misplaced. The last song called: “The Tree of Science” is a slow-floating masterpiece ending with a barking dog – and then as you think it’s all over a really freaked-out hidden track is revealed. Oh yeah, I want more, more, more ... If you dig: Soft Canyon, Circulus, Saturnia Rip KC @ Myspace Alone Records /The Stone Circle
