Review
Domonautas
Vol. 1 is
the new album by Spanish Psychedelic/Space/Stoner Rockers Domo and
it’s quite a hard album to listen to when listening to for the
first time. That’s down to the many different sounding ideas the
band have included on this album. There are quite a lot of different
instruments that the band play on the album. As the album has quite
an eclectic Jazz and Experimental feel compared to other Psychedelic
Stoner Rock albums.
There’s
definitely some
fun to be had on this album but Domo sure do make hard work of this
at times. It took myself a few listens to fully understand and
appreciate the instrumental work on the entire album. The one thing
you cannot say about Domo is that they play things safe on this
album. As they do not. The trippy and eastern vibes allows Domo to
create a slightly creepy sound in places.
The
4 songs on offer are quite varied with Domo never settling for one
standard sound. The psychedelic overtones is what drives Domo’s
music forward and to intense levels of creativity that blend Psych,
Hard Rock, Doom and Stoner Rock for a powerful and dynamic sound
that’s quite refreshing to hear in places.
The
two standout songs have to be Astródomo
and Ritual del Sol. As they have the most exciting parts contained on
the whole album.
Within
time I will appreciate Domonautas Vol. 1 a lot more than I do now. As
I need more time with this album and to fully understand the many
different elements of music that Domo have created for this album.
Though it’s an immense and daring slice of Psychedelic Stoner Rock
that you should give a listen until Domonautas Vol. 2 is released.
