Description/Reviews:

What Morrum plays on their sophomore record is a sort of modern, catchy jam-rock with some atmospheric and shoe-gaze influences. This sounds odd only on paper (or on your screens), but in the final mix, the result is impressive. ... The record is sort of split into two uneven parts. The first one is dominated by soft, dreamy funk-rock and the second is dropping into alt-punk-metal rawness.

Line-up: 
Jimi Sobara

Description/Reviews: 

With a style that mixes elements of hard rock, prog rock, and trace elements of blues, the sound on instrumentalist Jimi Sobara’s 2016 album Infinite Soul captures a sound that is as complex as it is enjoyable to listen to.  It’s definitely a more aggressive sound than I initially expected: the title of the album originally had me thinking that it would have a slow, soulful vibe, but it proceeded to smack me in the face with a powerful guitar solo from the very beginning of its first track.
