Motorpsycho – Kingdom Of Oblivion. The incredibly prolific Norwegians return with yet another double album of hard rock/psych prog. Includes a cover of Hawkwind/Lemmy’s ‘The Watcher’, which is even creepier than the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltBUtUSJGOE
The Holy Family – s/t. The mighty Guapo return! Well, kind of. This is actually more of a musical collective headed by Guapo main man David J Smith with other band members – such as Kavus Torabi – contributing. And while there are some Guapo-esque moments here, the apparently semi-improvised music ranges from ecstatic folk to occult psychedelic incantations. Also very long, but definitely worth a listen: https://theholyfamilyuk.bandcamp.com/album/the-holy-family
Oslo Tapes – ØR. Italian (and not Norwegian) avant electro-rock trio contemplate the black hit of space. A bit gothy in places, but some decent tracks, such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDkLdHMoOK8
Godspeed You! Black Emperor – G_d’s Pee At STATE’S END
Rural Tapes – s/t
Dans Dans – Zink
Robert Calvert – The Kid From Silicon Gulch
Hawkwind – In Search Of Space / Leave No Star Unturned
