MMOSS i (Bandcamp)


This Bostonian quartet sounds as if the late period Beatles meets the 60`s (British) psychedelia and folk-ish outsprings, and even Inspiral Carpets-alike baggy-infused grooves and Spacemen 3/early Spiritualized-esque roughly fluttering long chords at times. The 18 trippy paths on dusty keyboards (Hammond and Farfisa organs), spaced-out flutes and horns, doo wop-ish backdrops, a bit mutated yet suggestive vocal lines and whimsical rhythms and some irregular instruments like shruti box, dulcimer and cellos or just the unusual approach of the drums in the embodiment of shamanic vibe bounce sets are stretched out to be formed up into astonishing universes. Sometimes it will be "forgotten" to keep moving on drone-ish mode. Full of great harmonies and catchy turns, having found out its magnificent balance between the kind of hippy prog and experimental touch, between the tendencies of going toward the past and nowadays.
