“Heavily kosmische and kraut inspired rock from Gothenburg, Sweden.”
Kandodo / McBain – Lost Chants / Last Chance (2016)
“A meeting of like minds surfing the sonic highways to tonal oblivion. These four castaways on Sonic Island have delivered an album that evokes the long lost and revered genre “Drug-Rock” a true mind melt of acid abandonment! Tab-era Monster Magnet, Sessions Era-The Heads—purely visceral and pummelling workouts of a krautrock and pschedelische.”
Kanaan – Windborne (2018)
“Oslo based trio Kanaan quickly established themselves as one of the most important groups in the youngest generation of psychedelic impro-rockers. As accomplished players – all three educated in jazz – they marry fiery energy with musical intricacy, and possess a rare ability to balance power and delicateness. They devote as much energy to exploring airiness and atmosphere as they do to intensity.”
Amgala Temple – Invisible Airships (2018)
“Amgala Temple is the sound of three musical forces combined. The result is an overwhelming clash of spontaneity and control, improvisation and clairvoyance – all meshed together in a quest to make something radiant.”
Ashinoa – Sinie Sinie (2019)
“Ashinoa is a krautrock dementia that fans of the genre will recognize. An artistic atavism in the footsteps of the post-Stockhausen generation, a kind of round table of geniuses Klaus Dinger (Kraftwerk, Neu!), Edgar Froese (Tangerine Dream), Schulze (Ash Ra Tempel)… but also a kosmische musik of modern times, with a touch of electronic influences in the most experimental way.”
OZO – Saturn (2020)
“Improvised and experimental alto sax workouts, lead drums, fluid thunder bass and freak out guitar melodies.”
Junzo Suzuki & Snakes Don’t Belong in Alaska – The Ascended Master Teachings of Junzo Suzuki and Snakes Don’t Belong in Alaska (2019)
“This is long form psychedelic rock which has many extraordinary acid-kraut-rock moments which are futuristic and retro. Not for the faint of heart as the music goes there and back again leaving a trail of cosmic debris which sparkles like diamonds in the sky.”
Psychic Lemon – Freak Mammal (2019)
“Psychic Lemon Freak Mammal is a space-rock odyssey with long compositions with dense guitar effects, synth, bass and live drums. These songs are like rockets ripping through the atmosphere.”
Acid Rooster – Acid Rooster (2019)
“Acid Rooster is digging deep into the well of far-out psychedelic rock and has created their own dimension of this mind-expanding vibrational brew.”
Svenska Psykvänner – The Hägersten Sessions (2019)
“Another wedge of primo Swedish psychedelia courtesy of Svenska Psykvänner (translation: Swedish psych-friends). The lengthy, Krautish instrumentals of The Hägersten Sessions draw on Can, Amon Düül and all that.”
