The 19th album from this band from Norway.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, synths, flute and vocals.
A guest added extra keyboards.
You never know what you get from a Motorpsycho album as the band is wildly unpredictable. Nevertheless, the last three albums has given us a steady flow on their take on psych rock. That is psych rock with some very strong 1960s garage rock influences.
That too is the case for Here Be Monsters.
The band is stripped down and is based on bass, drums, guitars and vocals. This with some additional piano and synths. But most of all..... the music is guitar based and pretty naked.
The album is three quarters of an hour long and the eighteen minutes long Big Black Dog opus is closing the album. It is a good opus indeed.
The music is very hard at times. It is also groovy and proggy too.
The result is a good album and one that removes any doubts about the qualities of this band. This is one of the best bands in Norway.... something even a stripped down version of this band has proven on this album.
