The Eternal Light Brigade [Vinyl]

Les Big Byrd set to release The Eternal Light Brigade. The melodic tunes of Sweden's Les Big Byrd are laced with relentless motorik beats, dubby tape echo feedback, trippy effects and fuzz guitars. Their new album is called Eternal Light Brigade and according to the band's frontman Joakim Åhlund took well over three years to finish.

The indisputable talent pool of members Joakim Åhlund (Caesars, Smile, Teddybears), Frans Johansson (Fireside) and Nino Keller (Caesars, Slaves) seems to grow into a whole even greater than its parts — just as it should be with real good band. So when Les Big Byrd mix their wayward concoction of psychedelic rock, kraut, swirling synths and irresistible pop hooks, they manage to create something that breathes true freedom. Monotonous, hypnotic and driving but never for a moment dull, Les Big Byrd’s mind-expanding space rock is a perfect vehicle for anyone who wants to travel to the cosmos in a space rocket scribbled with forlorn romance.
