Hidria Spacefolk

Banda filandesa muito show. Quem gosta de Ozric Tentacles vai adorar. Eu gosto!

This group of five self-taught musicians will certainly capture the attention of OZRIC TENTACLES fans. Their music is loaded with textures and colours that leave most space rock bands sounding like a sample machine stuck in loop mode. It’s actually going somewhere: on all of their albums, the tracks evolve continuously, with the music occasionally returning to specific themes but with something new each time. Overall, their material sounds like a less guitar-dominated OZRIC and without the heavy techno influence.Their three albums are pure instrumental excursions into psychedelia propelled by Tim Blake-like droning and burbling synths, Steve Hillage-like guitar arpeggios, pulsating bass lines, phasing sitars and precise drumming with the occasional JETHRO TULL flute work (simultaneous flute blowing and vocalizing) and some infectious grooving rhythm lines that make you want to move around, bang your head and dance nonsensically. A fact worth mentioning: the acoustic elements on all of their albums are just as important as the synthesized ones, giving their sound a slightly Middle-Eastern or Far-East flavour.

Trippy, energetic, hypnotic space rock highly recommended to fans of OZRIC TENTACLES in particular, but will also appeal to those who don’t usually like the genre as the band knows how to diversify and never stays in one place.
