The 15th album from this band from Norway.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Three guests added keyboards, trumpet and female vocals on three tracks.
The band continued on from the rather disappointing 2009 album Child Of The Future.
I have been under the impression that Heavy Metal Fruit is one of the pillars in this band's very big discography. So I was looking forward to this album.
The band shows a lot of restraint on this album as they are no longe jumping in all directions. The band has more gone for elegance and subtle expressions.
In the case of this album, that means an understated blend of psych rock and space rock. There is indeed some krautrock here too. And there is even a funky song here followed by some good potent jazz.
The music on this one hour long album has all the Motorpsycho trademarks too. Their sound is pretty unique and that carries over to the music itself.
The music is six long pieces where the longest one is clocking in at over twenty minutes.
The overall quality is very good indeed and I have really enjoyed the music and the many interesting details scattered along this album.
This is an album psych rock fans should check out. It is an album most prog fans will find interesting too.
3.5 points
