Accolades for Mana
Super drug drenched sounding space rock with over the top fuzzed out guitars and soulful leads that just scream blues and acid at you. Think The Animals' House of the Rising Sun crossed with something off of Hendrix's Electric Ladyland. Check it out if you like psychedelic drenched classic guitar rock.
This time Gas Giant added a greater variety of instruments and an increased sense of dynamics, all to good effect. So along with the expected influences from Hendrix, Kyuss, Sabbath, and Floyd, we also get a taste of darker varieties of metal, tribal stomps, and even some acoustic guitars. But first and foremost is the blistering, all-out heavy and tripping space rock!
Although they can be VERY heavy, there is a very trippy, free-wheeling versatility to their sound that keeps pulling me back for more listens. And if juggling these two chainsaws wasn�t enough, there is some great songwriting and stereo wizardry going on. The songs have some really nice melodic hooks, choruses that get under your skin, and sudden changes in texture and dynamics that don�t leave you on safe ground.
