Roí Höttur means Robin Hood in Icelandic, but beside the name I can’t find any obvious connections to Iceland or icelandic music. Instead the band serve us, what I would like to call, psychadelia with a blues heart. And psychadelia then as a trip back to the times of the early Pink Floyd.
The Doors can also be sensed in their music as well as, to some extent, Led Zeppelin and all this can be heard in their debut. A debut, which is, in a nice psychadelia tradition, a 12 minute long piece. Great fun to listen to.
Yes I Am, which I wrote about in December has released a new EP, “Alarm”. You can listen and download the songs on their Bandcamp page. Here’s “Let You Out”:
Dark, heavy, powerful and monotone is my impression of Isobel & November’s music. They released their album “The Ghostwater Gospel” in the end of last year. Ten heavy tracks where I have a hard time to find anything to compare with, and which end with the brilliant and more than 15 min long “She Came Down the Mountain”, a song you can listen to below.
“She Came Down the Mountain” was recorded live in an old church, which I can really hear and feel in this mighty rock sermon.
You can find Isobel & November on Myspace and on Facebook. On Spotify you can listen to the entire album “The Ghostwater Gospel”.
It feels great to listen to Fredrik Malmgren’s, aka Apgeneralen, bluesy voice in this rock, which feels like it could be recorded from a sweaty rock jam in the first halv of the seventies. But it’s not quite that simple overall.
The Medicinal Storytellers don’t hesitate to mix in some Reggae, latino influences and instrumental rock, and without losing themselves. I think that they are great example of a band that can find their own identity within musical areas where thousands of bands have been playing for many years.
In spring 2009 they recorded the album “It’s Medicinal Time” and here below you can listen to two tracks from these recordnings. Listen some more on their Myspace page.
