Even before I had started playing this I was in a conundrum, did I like the band name, the album title or the artwork best? In the end I settled for the artwork as it looks like something that should have come out at the end of the Sixties. So I was in a good mood even before I listened to the first bar of music, and by the end of the album I was in an even better one! This is fun! They say that they play “tundra rock”, which is a Scandanavian version of “Desert Rock” a la Kyuss, but as they don’t live in a desert..It definitely contains the bottom end rawness that one would expect from that sort of description, as well as the looseness, but there is also the addition of psychedelia and Amboy Dukes/Blue Cheer stylings. I don’t think that the album look was an accident.
Their attitude is great, “We are not trying to reinvent the wheel, just making it roll again” – I mean, who can disagree with that? The label says that it is the perfect soundtrack for driving around town in the summer when the sun is setting and the night is ready to unveil its secrets and is especially for fans of 60’s-70’s psychedelia and bands like Led Zeppelin and Queens of the Stone Age. And they’re right.
