Psychedelic post-rock electroblues - the sound of Easter 2004; defined
by our latest release, the debut LP from Itavayla, an orchestra led by
R.Barracuda of the Imatran Voima fame (and not to be confused as a
sub-project of IVO) - a flowerchild of Rikos and Kostamus born under a
bad sign and engineered by Mesak, the soundtrack of the future boozers
is here!
For those who didn't know: Itavayla is the name of the road that leads
from Sornainen to the notorious Eastern Helsinki. It's also a name of
trio playing original and psychedelic combination of boogie and
electronic music. Itavayla is formed of R. Barracuda: rhythm machines,
synthesizers and cembalo, J. Vironen: slide guitar, rhythm guitar and
A. Saarinen: rhythm guitar, lead guitar. There are also a couple of
guest musicians involved. I'm not sure if this, apparently their first
release, should be called 12" or vinyl album, since there are only
four tracks on it. It is almost 40 minutes long, though, and spins at
33 1/3 rounds per minute. Well, this is not important, so let's get to
the point. The first track "Black Diamond Express" sounds very much
like traditional rhythm 'n' blues, mostly because of the dark, Deep
South minister sounding vocals. The next track "Tesco" is more
conventional electro; I'm somewhat reminded of Opel Bastards, although
this rocks more. Vilunki 3000 is found on the thanks list, no wonder.
There are plenty of analogue synths, and the hypnotic guitars are also
well presented. Great stuff! The B-side is started with a bit shorter
"Future Boogie" which begins with a Hawkwind-styled wind sound that
carries on the whole track. This is like a psychedelic version of ZZ
Top! A nice one, as well. The album is ended with long "Jeesus
Kristus" beginning in a laid-back manner with psychedelic bubbling
synths which are joined by slow, heavy boogie. The track includes some
stylish slide guitar and marvellous synthesizer sounds. The rhythm
fades out in the middle leaving only the bubbling synth patterns left
again. Finally the rhythm comes back and we get to hear an amazing
guitar solo! Wow.
