Psychedelic rock has always been a diverse and creative musical niche, the more upbeat and rhythmically infectious examples of the subgenre usually facilitating the modus operandi to which its fans would stereotypically respond with: "whoa, groovy vibes." When a band lives and breathes the general ideals that held sway over rock music as exemplified from the mid-60's to the mid-70's, and manages to make it seem as if this time has come all over again through sound waves instilling euphoric nostalgia, you know you've hit something hippies would consider gold, if they had any materialistic interest in shiny metals. The feeling of an entire decade has been conveniently, colourfully and convincingly compressed into one audible pill, a first full dose this Swedish based band has self-labelled as Blues Pills.

Kinda confused on the fact that Blues Pills were added to MS, but regardless I love them. So that's cool. Also this album is great

Found this really flat and soulless for some reason. Clean, characterless; sounds like psychedelic rock made by people that have never touched drugs. This and this are probably the psych-rock records for me this year, and the new Earth ain't far behind either.

It's a Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Graveyard, Adele-like band and a great debut! another great Swedish Rock act!! it feels great and the singer is great. it's really Classic, a sound from '70's.

Good description there and I agree the band is great w/ strong vocals.

Fans of this band should also find Kadavar (GER) interesting.
