Been listening to these guys a lot recently, despite being not very funky and psych-rock-proggy!
They’re from Melbourne in sunny Oz, were formed in 2010 and have already made at least 13 albums. Polygondwanaland is their 12th, and as a bonus is available as a free wav download for those that like that sort of thing.
You disappoint me Mr Smalls. I was expecting summat inaccessible and challenging. Yet you dish up a non-funk based, straight up, chilled, psych album that is instantly likable.
I’ve heard a lot from these guys as they pop up on the Oz Prog radar and thought they were a bit Meh! Some great stuff but plenty of duff.
This album, however, is very good. No way could you call it Prog, but a really good selection of choons.
Of course it’s Prog. It’s got long, it’s got crumbling Castles, it’s got big instrumentals and non-sensical words. It’s progably got Wizards, Capes and Unicorns in the background somewhere, too.
Definitely different, just not necessarily in a good way.
A lot of the tracks start off like the Red Hot Chilli Peppers but then the vocals come in.
Don’t mind the music and the general vibe but the vocals are naff.
