“Echoes Forest (2026), Mantra Machines third record, marks a more earthbound exploration. Venturing into the depths of ancient forests, this is a psychedelic journey that moves its listeners into more cinematic, inward-looking territory. Mantra Machine brings heavy, hypnotic grooves and immersive soundscapes with a fresh, modern twist on psychedelic rock. This Dutch three-piece band crafts instrumental jams that blend driving guitars, fuzz-drenched bass, and dynamic drums with layered synth atmospheres.”
Jammy jams that lean toward the mellower side but still take you places – nice use of keyboards too.
