Snowy Dunes - Snowy Dunes
Review by Marianne Bowen
Snowy Dunes, the self-titled debut album from the Swedish psychedelic rock band, is a stunning showcase of their impressive musicianship and unique sound. The album features a blend of heavy riff-based rock and atmospheric, dreamy melodies that transport the listener on a trippy journey through the snowy landscapes of Scandinavia.
The album opens with the epic "Atlantis", a 10-minute long instrumental track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its heavy bass lines, soaring guitar riffs, and intricate drumming. The band's influences, ranging from Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin to Pink Floyd and Tame Impala, are evident throughout the album, but they manage to create a sound that is entirely their own.
The standout tracks on the album include "Mountain Echo", a haunting ballad with beautiful harmonies and a mesmerizing guitar solo, and "The Light", a catchy, upbeat song with a groovy bass line and psychedelic guitar effects. "Desert Cold" is another highlight, with its ominous, slow-building intro that explodes into a heavy, head-banging chorus.
