  By , ,

The Kundalini Genie is a psychedlic-rock band from Scotland.

Although I was sent an introduction to their LP Reverberation (available on bandcamp) some little while ago, such is my wont I managed to miss it, only catching the details this week, apologies to one and all. With some fortune a new song surfaced at the tail end of last week.

You’ll Find Out (When You’re On Your Own) is a mesmerising blend of spaced out guitar, keys and a completely absorbing sitar, which enables them to create music that seems to stretch in to the mists of time with a slowly pacing percussion which is all rounded by a drifting echoing vocal.

Domiciles – Only You – Single Review

  By , ,

The Scottish psychedelic-rock quintet Domiciles released the single Only You on the 29th of September.

Though lasting a smidgen under six minutes the effects of Only You lay with the listener for some considerable time after the event with the synapses having slowed to syncopate with the trippy washes of the echoing guitar and finding little reason to fire back to normal speed in a hurry.

Domiciles are able to immerse themselves and the listener completely in ’60s and ’70s hallucinogenic-rock without sounding out of kilter with the ’10s with their music embracing both the past and the present.

Only You – Single – DOMICILES is available on iTunes.*

Dancing On Tables – Colour Me Good – Single Review

  By , ,

Dancing On Tables, the indie-dance quintet of Robbie McSkimming, Callum Thomas, Hamish Finlayson, Gregor Stobie and Michael Waterworth from Dunfermline in Scotland, released the single Colour Me Good on the 14th.

Having fast grown an audience with their user friendly tunes, in Colour Me Good the quintet have challenged themselves to work within a slightly different sphere, while not wishing to alienate their existing fanbase and have been able to transition successfully.

Their earlier catalogue I find a little featherweight of texture and stay for my personal taste, though ideal to penetrate the radio market they were aiming to secure. Colour Me Good, while still music for easy moments has more depth and a less formulaic structure affording the song a more natural flow and a measure of connectivity making for a release I do recommend adding to the birthday bash playlist.

Whether this marks a slightly new direction for the quintet or a one-off foray- time will tell.

The lengthy compositions – which combined come to roughly seventy two minutes (available on bandcamp – proceeds are being donated to the medical fundraiser – Carries Fund) are best approached while in a darkened room to allow the unhurried, relentless entombing foreboding presence to encase the mind and body.

The opening track, which lasts for nearly forty two minutes is the title – Thor’s Womb.

Dinosaur 94 – Elephant Dreams – Single Review

  By , ,

The Scottish alt-rock quintet, Dinosaur 94, released the single Elephant Dreams yesterday.

Dinosaur 94

Having only come to fruition roughly a year ago Dinosaur 94 are, understandably, still honing their core sound with each of the handful of songs I have been able to hear having a slightly different flavour. References of fuzzy framework and merseybeat, along side the new track Elephant Dream – which is of more punchy bluesy new wave root-stock that, inevitably, as longer stay readers will anticipate is also my preference – compounded by a throbbing bass which introduces the listener to the almost five and a half minutes composition.

I look forward to hearing more by Dinosaur 94 who are self-evidently a talented group of song songwriters and musicians.
