Magick Brother and Mystic Sister - Tarot, Part I (2024)

The second album from this band from Spain.

The band is a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, sitars, mandolin, organ, piano, keyboards, mellotron and vocals.

A handful of guests added percussion, sitar, flute, narration and vocals.

I reviewed their 2020 self-titled debut album last weekend and I liked that album a lot. The music was psych rock with a lot of Canterbury prog and acid-folk rock influences.

The band returned again with this album and a slight change of style. Or make it a development. 

The sound and music is still very much rooted in the late 1960s psych rock scene. There is though some space rock here and some krautrock too. The acid-folk rock influences is still here. The pretty extensive use of sitar brings us some Indian and Asian flavours.  

The music is also floating a lot as in dream pop. The vocals are in the dream pop vein.

The music is both melodic and full of interesting ideas and details. 

This is a very good album from this band and a reminder that this band is one of the bigger talents in the scene.
