No Songs, just Sound (Compilation)

by Shem

supported by

vykr Non-Joycean's welcome to some serious Wakean brain massage.
Thick guitars swarm, drums pound and skitter, while the bass massages your guts; then there's the free-form openness traversing brain hemispheres without a chart.
A slow burn warming the caverns of your imagination so, when you do come to, it takes a while to re-recognise the hum drum. Favorite track: Konvoi.

The Midnight Toker. Drippy Trippy SpaceJams

about

"Shem is a collective of musicians aiming to create improvisational sound pieces influenced by a wide range of eras and strains of Psychedelic music: From early Krautrock bands such as Amon Düül, Can and Popol Vuh, to the oscellation driven space rock of Hawkwind and the meandering soundscapes created by contemporary bands such as Electric Orange, Oresund Space Collective and Kungens Män. Through combining elements of Ambient, Drone, Psych and Space Rock into epic, reverb drenched jams, Shem take the listener onto a cosmic journey into their own realm of musical experimentation."

Will anything that psychedelic source put out be unremarkable? I am starting to think not. Their jam sessions have become a staple in my psychedelic diet and this is a particularly strong and inspired one. Best psychedelic jam sessions label on the block? You bet. mehmetk
