The Swedes certainly seem to know their psych rock, and we should go ahead and throw in the 7-piece band Hills as further evidence to the fact. Cosmic drone and Eastern tones abound on "National Drone," a kind of reverby, chanting mantra for nature or the old gods. Check it out below and get the "Frid" LP here from Rocket Recordings.
Featuring members of Goat and Hills, Swedish band DJINN takes the psychedelia of the artists' past work and fuses it into a grooving, pulsing, bleeding kind of spiritual, experimental jazz. Reaching through the ether and the cosmos to clutch the far out sounds of Sun Ra or Alice Coltrane, the new self-titled album is a mind bomb, exploding the folds and senses and opening exotic new worlds. Watch the trippy video to the cheekily titled "Djinn and Djuice" below and get the album here from Rocket Recordings.
