Monday's Long Song

 

Almost three years ago Norway's three piece band Kanaan released their album Earthbound. It is an album that impressed me much at it's release because they reduced music what it should be sometimes. Massive fuzzy guitar, straight drums and a melange of stoner rock and psychedelic. Mudbound is the best example for their music. Although the riffs pile up as high as a house, a playful melody creeps into the sound again and again in between and sounds fragile.

Kanaan is a new Norwegian trio and released their first album Windborne two years ago. Another great Scandinavian band giving us their own psychedelic music that reminds me to Motorpsycho and Jaga Jazzist. It is their mix of powerful guitar music coupled with elements of prog and stoner rock added with a little touch of jazz. A. Hausenbecken convinced with it's easy style and dreamy melody.

What they are able to you can hear on their new album Odense Sessions that was released last week as well as their regular second album Double Sun. It is a bit of a looser side of their sound with Grateful Dead-esque dual-guitars.
