Marcin Wielewski Stoner jams with amazing groove. Since I learn to play drums, I find this kind of music the best! Favorite track: Return to the Tundrasphere.

David Yvinec Absolutely crunchy, heavy and hypnotic. There are some trance inducing properties to those musical jams. Mudbound is a case in point. The best of Northern European heavy psychedelic rock music with some tracks - such as No Star Left Unturned - reminiscent of the Motorik German school of psychedelia! Favorite track: Mudbound.

Colin M. Crunchy, intelligent stoner jams heavy on the fuzz. The occasional bonkers interludes really keep the listener on their toes and keep things consistently fresh. Super cool! Favorite track: Return to the Tundrasphere.

Milchaffe This band is one of my top 5 finds this year. Listened to this Album 100 times on TIDAL and it is overdue to buy.
Mid sections, get a bit wild from time to time, but man, what a joy to take this sound in. Absolut JOY!
Please make some hoodies or t-shirts. I would wear them with pride!
Favorite track: Mudbound.

Shmoob This album is fuzzy like one of those king sized pink rose gold velvet blankets. Favorite track: Pink Riff.

Der Ohlsen "If you want to put a label on it, the first thing that come to mind for this album are stoner rock or heavy psych, but the real kicker is that all the filigreed jazzy virtuosity and flow, all the untiring drum energy are of course still there. They are just whirling around while simultanously being shoveled up with this almost obscenely thick layer of gnarly bass guitar sludge. It's delicious!"

about

Emerging from an ocean of fuzz like a Kyuss that went to jazz school, instrumental power trio Kanaan are ready with their fourth studio album in as many years. The three prolific young musicians are seemingly everywhere on the Norwegian music scene these days, as members of Mall Girl, Daufødt, JUNO and Vegard & Ivar Band. A diverse selection of bands that display the aptitude of the players, as well as their eclectic musical influences.

Where Kanaan’s former albums have been jazzy and psychedelic explorations, with forays into kraut and free improvisation, the new album Earthbound comes at you, heavier than a ton of bricks. However, even though they wear their stoner rock influences on their sleeve, the music is not a departure from their earlier projects, more of a continuation.

Inspired by bands such as Colour Haze, Hawkwind, Elder, Motorpsycho and Acid Mothers Temple, Earthbound serves up plenty of surprising twists and turns, beautiful and mellow passages and masterful musicianship. Although never flashy, the whole album is a showcase of the three wildly talented musicians as they plow their way through enormous riffs and thunderous grooves.

Searching to perfect their hybrid of heavy rock and psychedelic jazz influences, the band isolated themselves in Halden's Athletic Sound studios, working day and night to accomplish what became Earthbound, a quantum leap for their sound in terms of sheer heaviness and psychedelic extravaganza compared to their previous albums.
