A Swedish band presenting the most authentic time-warp back
to 60s/70s American west-coast harmony rock: opener Everyone is Love lyrically rooted to this musical philosophy. The written
assertion may not have been realised [well, in Trumpland, most definitely not] but
the echo of Doobies, Outlaws, CSN&Y et al certainly has and is.
Second track Sweet
Country Livin’ doesn’t try to conceal its other roots with wording and
contraction, and we are on the same broad road, here more Matthews Southern
Comfort, but you get the trajectory. With third The Darkest Days of All Time we are certain of our listening
trajectory. Fifth Gentle Bird reminds
how hints of the blues are also always a part of this lineage, here actually
having in its harmonised form and piano thumped chorus a differing intimation of
the Beatles. You continue to get the gist.
Generic and formulaic, yes, but then that is why you would
be listening.
Hear and buy at the band's Bandcamp page.
