ALLAS SAK

If your into that 60's and early 70's psychedelic/ folk style of music than you probably already know about this Swedish band. Led by multi-instrumentalist Gustav Ejstes along with his side kick Reine Riske we see the band on album number seven offering up some variety and at the time the five year break was the longest between albums for these guys. Love the album art by the way. We get some guest horns on three tracks.

I really like how they stay within themselves yet often there is so much going on with each doing there thing with passion. Those fuzzy guitar leads set the tone but the active drum work and keys certainly scratch that itch. That last track at a surprising 8 1/2 minutes is about as psychedelic as this band gets. The last half being filled with sounds echoing as it trips along. I like the floating organ to get this track going as well. And I forgot about the flute which is prominent on the third and fourth numbers which are both highlights for me along with the opener which is the title track. That distorted guitar, busy drum work and this is very psychedelic then a horn after 2 minutes as the guitar steps aside briefly during this instrumental section.

So good to hear some good music and this is a top five for me from this band. They have released nine studio albums since 2001.
