Psychewalks of Eternal Karma

How often do you find youngsters that just loves to play music in the good old fashioned way like Blue Cheer and so on? Well, I just discovered this new danish band. This is what they have to say about themselves:

"We are a group of 4 boys at the age of 16. We met at Sejergaardsskolen in Tølløse this year. and we've been playing together ever since. The style of music is heavy, 70's inspired, downtuned, stoner rock with some psychedelic soundscapes, and a slightly overdriven hammond organ in there. Also lots of fuzzy guitars and bass, will be found throughout the whole thing."

And they fucking rocks my shoes off ...

Dark Room

Okay, after not seeing Peter Lundholm for decades the cool group from the stupid Facebook about Gammeltorv '81 suddenly reveals his new project. Haven't heard about anything from his hands since he left D-A-D some 10 years ago. Interesting ...

Catch them live for the first time at Huset april 4th - back to square one, so to say!

The Sword - The difficult sequel ...?!

The first record "Age of Winters" was groundbreaking to me! Not at first, but after a while those monumental riffs simply paralyzed my mind. And although I had difficulties with the vocal at first - and especially the lyrics - the band won me ower for good. They are the riff-masters of the universe! This time I'm having difficulties again. What is this? Is it metal or is it stoner that they wanna sound like? I don't really get it. The riffing on "Gods of the Earth" is much like the first time around, but there's too many metal clichés. But the record grows and the last two songs: "Black River" and "The White Sea" really redeem these guys. And one thing is for sure: the louder you play this, the better it feels ...

EARTHLING SOCIETY - Tears of Andromeda

Last year at the Roadburn Festival I saw Earthling Society high on Northern Light - and way, that was a breathtakin' experience. After the show I bought this record - and completely forgot about it. Now and then I stumpled over it going through my records - still sealed in plastic!! And I always thought: "No, wait a little, you need to give it special attention". Stupid me! When is that gonna be? Well, today I unwrapped it and it was not a special occasion and I didn't give it special attention at first. But then after 37 seconds or something, I stoppen doing what I did and thought - WOW!

It's a very fine piece of music and it didn't deserve to stay on the shelve for so long! But then again, hey, maybe it was ment to be so ...

S.T. Mikael - "Mind of Fire"

After 11 years absence swedish psyche-head S.T. Mikael suddenly reappear on Earth. This record is a collaboration with Dungen’s Reine Fiske and Fredrik Björling. There'a apparantly always something boiling in the pot from those dudes of Dungen. The album is out on Subliminal Sounds (home of Dungen, Life on Earth! as well) and their description of the music goes like:

"... a fascinating voyage that is so mind twisting, soul swirling, upper psychedelic that your third eye takes you on a joyride through an altered state! This album makes your brain start thinking in those pebble splash pond mind circular expanding waveforms that people on this vibe await the returning ship their roots sent out to bring back the password to tomorrow."

Well, well, well - pretty well said and what a vocabulary ...

A Desert Moment ...

While I was listening to Unida's unreleased album "The Great Divide", the mailman knocked on the door. He came with a packet of records I had ordered. Great stuff like: Middian and Wooden Shjips. But what was funny, is, that while listening to this great unreleased desert stuff and opening the packet, I realised I had ordered Sabbia, the art-videoproject by Kate McCabe with music by Brant Bjork. And more to this there was the "Disco Marching Kraft EP" by Earthlings? and "Songs from the Ancient Age" by Spindrift. Wow, I look so much forward to all this stuff while I paint a room in my apartment. The video have to wait for later ...

Spindrift is a brand new relationship to me. Stumpled over them by accident - but what a nice one. Although not a desert rock band in the traditional way, they also worship the desert. Spindrift is the brainchild of Kirpatrick Thomas. First album is "Songs from the Ancient Age" and the second is called "The Legend of God's Gun" and features current and former members of Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Warlocks, and other Los Angeles psychedelic veterans. "The Legend of God's Gun" is also a rock-n-roll-spaghetti-style-western/ glorified music video feature film made by Mike Bruce. This is still unreleased, but you can watch the trailer.



About Sabbia, LA Film Forum wrote: "Sabbia is a desert trip inspired by the music of Brant Bjork and visualized by Kate McCabe. Evoking the immeasurable desert landscape and old ghosts of a dusty past, the film beautifully weaves together a tapestry of perfect moments and a raw rock-n-roll way of life. As a form of psychedelic documentary, the film explores the musical wilderness of a weird and sexy Southern California wasteland. Sabbia presents the landscape’s vast sense of space and time and like a mirage, reveals the magic of desert music, art, and soul."
