Blending the cosmic dimensions of psychedelic, stoner, and desert rock, Kelowna, BC, Canada's SweetBeast's debut album "Illusions" invites you to lose yourself in their fusion of heavy, low-tuned guitars and melodic, psychedelic riffs.Aiming to give fans a fully immersive listening experience, the band transports the deep, heavy grooves and layered, psychedelic soundscapes as if you’re on a journey through the mind or some otherworldly place. Each track is designed to pull the listener in with dynamic shifts, powerful riffs, and moments of reflection, creating a balance between intensity and space.
SweetBeast comments on the record's release:
"We couldn't be more excited to share our debut album Illusions. Since forming in 2018, we've faced our share of ups and downs, from lineup changes to lost tracks, but we’ve always pushed forward. With each challenge, our sound has evolved into something we’re incredibly proud of—something that blends the raw energy of Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss with the spacey, psychedelic textures of Pink Floyd. It’s been a long journey building this body of work, and we couldn’t be more proud to share it with fans new and old. SweetBeast thrives on keeping things unpredictable, with odd time signatures, tempo shifts, and mood swings that keep the listener guessing.
Each track represents different aspects of life, consciousness, and the illusions we create for ourselves. This album digs deep into personal experiences and the strange journey of self-discovery. Over the last few years, we’ve found new meaning in our music and channeled that energy into these songs.
This album holds a special place in our hearts, dedicated to our late friend and mentor, Jay Scott, who believed in us from day one. Jay, a legend in the music scene who toured with bands like D.O.A. and No Means No, gave us the push we needed to keep going. His support and encouragement helped us stay the course, and we were lucky enough to have him in the music video for our track 'Illusion'. This one’s for you, Jay—until we meet again."
