With Warped Vision , Psychlona sets the bar high for heavy psych and stoner in 2024.
The band from Bradford, UK, demonstrates on their fourth full-length album that they've mastered the art of crafting thick riffs, hypnotic rhythms, and psychedelic soundscapes.
The quartet skillfully blends classic stoner rock elements reminiscent of Kyuss, Fu Manchu, and occasional Hawkwind influences, all while adding their own unique twist. The opener "Jasmine," with its driving drums and bass, immediately sets the tone. Dry, desert rock meets laid-back heavy psych, making it impossible not to nod along.
Tracks like "Magic Carpet" even evoke memories of early Pink Floyd, merging fuzz-drenched guitars with slow, groovy, mesmerizing passages, all while maintaining an organic feel.
Psychlona has crafted an album that represents heavy-psych rock in its purest form, yet isn't afraid to take creative detours. Fans of the genre are sure to be thrilled.
