Rls Notes
Incredibly enough, but very naturally, after 11-years silence hereÆs a
new album by this mysterious and legendary Swedish psychedelic multi-
instrumentalist. S.T. Mikael spearheaded the DIY psychedelic rock/folk
movement of the late 1980s-mid-90s, with a collection of mind-bending
albums. During his long absence S.T Mikael grew more secretive and
reclusive, but all the while he was still writing music. Now that heÆs
finally back hereÆs at last a chance for to join in to his psychedelic
world again. The music, stretching out in many different musical
directions, has been done freely and spontaneously in an extremely
relaxed and happy environment, where Mikael joined forces with
DungenÆs Reine Fiske and Fredrik Bj÷rling, whoÆs musical expertise now
also grace the grooves. These otherworldly acid tripper recordings now
exists in the real world and ST Mikael, proves, once again, to be a
gifted songwriter and an unconventional performer with a very personal
ear for acoustics and an emotional honesty seldom seen these days.
Folk rocky melodic elements flow with waves of heavy fuzzphase leads,
weird detached haunted vocal echoes over the band and the whole thing
seems to teeter on the brink of psychedelic oblivion. Not revival
either but purely of the now. You do get the feeing that Mikael
actually lives the lifestyle rather than just emulating it. His
soaring vocals, surreal lyrics, fragile, folky melodies, heavy fuzz
riffs, mind bending soul funk and penchant for the spiritual and
mystical make this altogether a fascinating voyage that is so mind
twisting, soul swirling, upper psychedelic that your third eye takes
you on a joyride thru an altered state! This album makes your brain
start thinking in those pebble splash pond mind circular expanding
waveforms that people on this vibe await the returning ship their
roots sent out to bring back the password to tomorrow. The contains
9 previously unreleased vintage recordings and a unique spoken
introduction by Mikael.
