It's Not Night: It's Space - East of the Sun & West of the Moon.

Hello guys, after a busy start to the new year, I bring you It's Not Night: It's Space. 

I don't feel like writing a review as i'm exhausted after completing so many essays this week. This is a sweet album  which fans of psychedelic stoner will surely appreciate. I would say they sound a bit like Sungrazer and a little like Eternal Tapestry (Beyond the fourth door).

Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats

So I first discovered this band from the Classic Rock Compilation which I posted here before. They are back with a new album. They are inspired by b-movie horror films from the 70's and can be seen in the album art, song titles and the style of the songs. Groovy, hallucinogenic tunes. 

BUY HERE ( They are a small band so support them by buying the album, if you like them)

Vol. 1 (2010)

The Atomic Bitchwax - The Local Fuzz (2011)

"... The Local Fuzz is one 42 minute instrumental track. It is a fuzz enthusiasts dream album. The album is very heavy and fuzzy throughout with some spacey and psychedelic moments and some classic and blues rock moments. It’s filled to the rim with riff after riff. Fans of their previous material won’t be disappointed. Anyone into big guitar riffs and/or great instrumental rock will love this." - The Soda Shop

Jack And The Bearded Fishermn - Places To Hide (2011)

Request from the band. Sounds good.

Tweak Bird - Tweak Bird (2010)

Great album to listen to in this warm summer. The album cover does justice to the sound of the album. The duo take you on a road journey in the warm desert on a motorbike.

Voodoo Mule

The first band request in my blog comes from the Slovenian band Vodoo Mule. Voodoo Mule is a new rock trio from Slovenia, inspired by bands/artists like Melvins, Jimi Hendrix, Sleep, Kyuss, Electric Wizard... They just played their first gigs and and have supported the Swedish doom legends Count Raven in Ljubljana...

Mount Carmel - Mount Carmel (2010)

I missed this album last year. Well, better late than never. They play hard blues with a hint of stoner rock. According to loudandquiet, Mount Carmel "...brings in a jazz-bass riff worthy of an underground 1970s blues joint", furthur in the review they are also compared to Led Zeppelin, and Wolfmother. I cannot confirm the statement as I listen to neither of those bands. Though, I can confidently say that this is good stuff. I think it is appropriate to use the phrase, "stuck in the 70s"

The :Egocentrics - Center Of The Cyclone (2011)

Cy

 "Three dudes from Romania turn it up like Blue Cheer and swing like John Coltrane on this heavy psych instrumental masterpiece on the Nasoni label, Center of the Cyclone. Taking their sonic cues in sound from their hallowed EU brethren Colour Haze , the band navigates the most awe-inspiring peaks and valleys of jazz, spacerock, psychedelia and stoner rock with aplomb. Once the needle hits the vinyl, it’s a nonstop dazzling journey of sound. 

Not many bands can pull off the jazz approach as applied to rock n’ roll. The :Egocentrics just seem to have a knack for aural exploration - the album seems to ebb and flow in a dreamy, musical undulation. Subtle changes in rhythm and groove, even in intense uptempo numbers like “Off The Center” and “Blissful Idiot” seem loose, like they were composed effortlessly from the ether. The more chill numbers like “Intuition and Coincidence” leave you mesmerized as the band navigates the farthest reaches of musical space.. The real magic is when the band combines both heavy groove and chill hypnotica – the amazing “The Unknown Sings” and “Lost and Found”. Both remind me of the first time I heard Colour Haze’s CO2, an essential listening experience. 

Center of the Cyclone displays incredible musicianship and chemistry. The :Egocentrics are as nimble as they are diverse – able to jam it out, find a piece of the original melody and reel it back in. Great head music right here."

Comets On Fire - Avatar (2006)

One of my favourite COF albums. This has a really clean sound to it compared to their previous high fuzz, noise albums.

Chylde - Now It Can Be Told (2009)

"Call it what you want: “real” metal or “stoner rock” or “doom.” Whatever the proper nomenclature might be, it’s a lock that the psychedelically-tinged, smart, and virtuosic 8-song full length of unabashed heaviness is right in the path of lineage from Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, St. Vitus, Soundgarden, Kyuss, and Black Mountain."

More psychedelic goodie from Germany. Female vocal fronted psychedelic band.
"...great psych-surf-indie-rock songs with great feel and nice fuzz-tremolo guitars of guitarplayer Rainer Neeff (he also made a solo-LP!). Vocals and bass by Daniela Neeff (she also made a solo-CD) and drums by Russel Mc Swan (no soloalbum?!)." - Sulatron
