The second album from this band from Finland.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, minimoog, mellotron, organ, electric piano, keyboards and vocals.
Some guests added double bass, violin, octave violin, minimoog and flute on a couple of tracks.
I really enjoyed their 2015 self-titled debut album. An album with some good retro psych and symphonic prog. An album that established this band as one of the best bands in Finland.
The band continues on in the same direction on this forty minutes long album. It has a blend of acid folk, psych rock and symphonic prog. The music is a bit of a return to the 1970s Finnish prog and psych scene.
The male vocals is very good and the sound is great. Ditto for the ambience. The organ, minimoog and the mellotron sound adds a lot to this album. Ditto for the restrained guitar solos where no tones are wasted. That gives this album it's elegant sound. Add in the vocals and the flute on one of the tracks and the listener is being transported to the thousand lakes by the music here.
The music is very elegant too. It has lots of very interesting details too.
The band has grown in confidence on this album and bettered their debut album. This is indeed a very good album, indeed. Check out this album.
