Swedish acid rockers THREE SEASONS have been absolutely famed by fans and media for their genuine yet original 60s/70s sound, and there's no wonder why - with the muscular riffs, grooving rhythms and really tasty solos, the band has found the perfect approach to the hard-hitting psychedelic, jammy blues rock from the past. And if their earlier work got you going (or perhaps "brought forth rivers of tears of joy in the eyes of music consumers and loudspeakers", as one reviewer thought), the band's upcoming full-length album GROW is guaranteed to get you going even more.
On GROW we get 8 songs of the highest quality, all of which show a special side of the band's music. To name a few, there is "Which Way" with a mystical opening that turns into a catchy, folky groove; "Drowning", a full-on riffer with high energy and great latino-style percussion; "No Shame", where the album gets emotional with some really heartfelt vocals; and in "Tablas of Bahar" there is the wordless magic of a traveling, many-sided instrumental. Further, an important novelty on this record is that lead guitarist and vocalist Sartez Faraj now also handles the hammond organ with great success - check out the 10-minute epic "Familiar Song" for sweet psychedelic melodies, great riffings and a most penetrating organ solo.
To summarise: this album is certainly one of the musical higlights of 2014. The band has set their bar very high - previous releases LIFE'S ROAD, ESCAPE and UNDERSTAND THE WORLD have not only received loads of top score-reviews, high spots on the official album charts and "Best album of the year" awards, but also been sold-out and re-pressed - but GROW is sure to beat all expectations.
