Description/Reviews
Seven That Spells have garnered quite a reputation on the underground psych scene and from the basis of this album alone it is easy to see why. Hailing from Croatia but with a strong founding in Japanese culture, they deliver a heady dose of deep psych that you may just want to find somewhere safe to lie down to first before listening.
Not that this is obvious from opening track 'In II' whose kaleidoscopic guitar riff signals a descent into the madness that follows. It's all rather run of the mill and basic but that's the trick you see. It completely disarms you whilst also taking on the role of an introductory flight into space.

  1. Awesome album! Especially the song, "Io." At times the band sound like Dick Dale, Ash Ra Tempel, Amon Düul, Holger Czukay, Alice in Chains, King Crimson, Ted Nugent, and Can. Definitely a resurrection of Krautrock!
