lovepsy this great psy band from brazil did it again! unlike thier first album, this one goes to more dark atmosphere places. but track like "sensitive fate", reavel they can go to much more uplifting direction for the listeners and take them to a cosmic and spacey sounds expending the mind and the soul. this kind of stuff most likely to take them to the top! Favorite track: Sensitive Fate.

about

White Canyon return with their second album, Spectral Illusion, and, as the cover suggests, there is a darker, more mystical edge to the music though it loses none of the refinement and melodic grace of its predecessor. There is a classical feel to this collection; everything is done so beautifully it is difficult not to surrender to it even if your musical preference is for the raw rather than the refined. The duo here submerge you into shadowy soundscapes where spirits dance and faded memories whisper. White Canyon are consummate guides as they smooth over the sharp peaks of the highs and cushion the deepest drops to the lows. Opening with the title track, there is a nice Latin feel to the guitars as we enter the gently distorted world of dream psych. Vocals breathe and guitars mesmerise as the song builds in power; it really is an attractive thing and its six-and-a-half minutes seem barely enough. 'Sensitive Fate' is built on a rumbling drone where chiming guitars frame a smooth female vocal that is delivered in a dreamy shoegaze style, while 'Endless Sea' fittingly stretches over nine minutes with its gentle double vocal hinting at eternity as the music swells and pulses. There's power in the words, though they barely break out of the background. They bring reassurance to the unknown and reveal beauty in the darkness that lies all around. The closing track 'Oroboros' is a stunner with elegiac voices hiding behind some beautifully sombre guitar work to create moments that are achingly pretty. It sheds its skin in a clever ending that works so much better than an ill-considered fade out. There are more forceful moments. 'Seven Kingdoms' grows from gentle beginnings to lay down some impressive guitar sounds, 'Electric Ghost' hammers gently at your senses while guitars chatter all around, and 'Look Up To The Sky' with its weaving flutes and chimes hints at 1960s' psych.

Spectral Illusion is about the beyond, the cycle of life, the unquestionable ghosts and the serpent that bites its own tail.

about

White Canyon & The 5th Dimension MG, Brazil

Spatial environment, guided by reverberated guitars, straight drums almost in a loop, crooked melodies and shoe-gaze style voices. Shining melancholy our sound takes you to colorful landscapes, sometimes lucid, sometimes not. Take a walk through the garage of the '60s, and the post-punk of the '80s. He goes through acoustic ballads and the almost obscure frenzy. ... more

If you were in an industrial accident in the rubber bullet factory at which you are a shift supervisor, but for whatever reason that particular day you decided to use all your braided rawhide leather belts to sandwich pillows around your body instead of wearing clothes to work, and by so doing you survive the accident... this is that, but more guitar-forward. woe_bonnet
