Jalayan - Floating Islands (2022)

The second album from this band from Italy.

The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and synths.

I have not been able to get a copy of their 2019 debut Sonic Drive so this is my first meeting with this band.

The band has been listening to Hawkwind and in particular Ozric Tentacles a lot. That is evident on this album.

The Ozric Tentacles references are all over this album. 

Jalayan is a band in that scene and the sound the above mentioned band has created and it is indeed a very good thing that someone else also takes up the genre created by the band from Brighton, England.

There is some rather harsh and heavy guitars here and the music is by no means ambient. It is nicely flowing outer space rock and it has got some snarling teeth.

The quality is good all the way through this forty five minutes long album. The band has something going for them and this album should get a lot attention in the progressive rock scene.
