Voyageurs Alien Iverson (FMA/Bandcamp)


Fayetteville-based project Voyageurs released the third issue, continuing their uncompromising proceeding within psychedelic-loaded space rock and fluttering drone rock/stonergaze/psych-rock conception on it. No doubt, I have no certain idea why the title of this 5-track release does have an indication to the former NBA basketball star and problematic boy Allen Iverson who is playing in Turkey at the moment. Obviously it is related to a word game only. Or might there be an entrace for a kind of alien rock in some way as well? If to consider the set is used to hint at strongly moaning vocal manners while being full of burnt-out emotions and making out in-nervate motorik undercurrents through the interplay between spaced-out guitars, castanet shakings, murky cadence piles and hypnotic circle-moulded gears at times, indeed, it does have a strong appeal upon it. Especially impressive combination of those elements is the ending track Sleeping Outdoors. If you have been into the music by the likes of Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, anyway, this small bunch of songs could exactly be thought for you in the first place.
