Goat The Head (ft. Kenneth) just put out their magnum opus so far, Et Lokalsamfunn I Sorg (A community in mourning). It’s Tom Wait-ish trønder death and despair from the outback. An absolute must hear. Standout tracks: Kustus, Varra Vanle

Out today:

Black Moon Circle – Leave the Ghost Behind, with Tomas Järmyr on drums. I have only heard the single so far but looking forward to hearing the full album

Iron Jinn – Iron Jinn. Their debut album. I saw them play live a while ago and was blown away. Amazing band! Received the album a few days ago and it’s even better than I hoped it would be.

And apropos of the two last post – Goat the Head and Black Moon Circle will do a double release concert at Trykkeriet Scene in Trondheim on May 26.

No surprise if we again will see two drumkits on stage and some joint effort between Kenneth and Tomas.

Kanaan has released new record this Friday, and it’s very good.

Kanaan are rather legendary if you ask me. A brilliant release concert for the new album just a few days ago.

Been digging Kanaan since their first release. Their physical records are quite hard to grab over here.

Great photos Thor!

I have a chance to see Bo Ningen live, don’t hesitate to do so!

From the few bits I’ve listened to I got the impression that Kanaan are just repeating the odd stoner rock formula – and though they deliver a sound I like a lot I still cannot judge wether they have any larger creative potential. Probably I should find out by intensive listening?

[Krist Rampage]

I really like their latest lp. Can’t wait for the vinyl being delivered. True, it somehow is the stonerrock formula but imo very refreshing, full of awesome ideas and an incredible sound. My favorite song is Amazon, with the incredible Hedvig Mollestad. Btw, how cool would it be if Motorpsycho collaborated with her one day!

[supernaut]

Motorhedwig… sounds like very overdue, no? She‘s playing my hometown tomorrow.

[ThorEgil]

Motorhedvig – I’ve seen Snah playing with them twice – last time half a year ago. The roof lifted when they ended the show with Led Zeppelin’s ‘Rock And Roll’
And they are repeating the meetup at this years Moldejazz where Hedvig Mollestad is Artist in Residence this year – 8 concerts in a week.

The Holy Family – Go Zero (release date 21 July)

The first (self-titled) album by The Holy Family – comprising mostly members of the excellent British band Guapo* – was a brilliant, sprawling mash-up of kosmiche, psyche, electronica, zeuhl, and acid folk. A captivating double album and easily one of my albums of 2021. Live, they proved to be an even more intense experience with jams propelled by Sam Warren’s magnificent driving bass grooves.

Expectations are high for another great album, and I aim to be at their London gig in August.

* If you don’t know Guapo, check out the albums Five Suns or History of the Visitation.
