Sendelica
The Satori In Elegance Of The Majestic Stonegazer
These are good
times for fans of spacey psychedelia with excellent recent new albums from
White Hills, Carlton Melton, White Manna and Eternal Tapestry. To add to those
names, Welsh warlords Sendelica have a newie out. The band has been active for
several years producing consistently high quality music throughout their career,
this time putting out a CD/DVD package, which radiates mescal from its freaky
artwork.
The first track
roars straight out of the blocks with a monster wah-wah guitar riff and
obligatory whooshing noises. Thereafter, it doesn’t just follow the same
template, touching on numerous bases with subdued electronica soundscapes and
some neat instrumental touches like electric sitar and heavily treated sax. This
is certainly for the best as the album starts to sound a little samey when they
just stick to repetitive heavy guitar riffs.
Sendelica never
sound quite as transcendent as some of the other bands mentioned above but they’re
consistently listenable and occasionally strafe the sky when their TNT guitar
work melts in to long instrumental moon tides. Not essential but more than
enough titillation for space-rock heads everywhere.
