Voice of the Seven Thunders

[El_Jeffe]

Only got the debut self-titled album last night. But it's a strangely interesting & bizarrely brilliant listen that I keep wanting to come back to, already. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, Voice Of Seven Thunders is the new musical project of Rick Tomlinson & Chris Walmsley (previously from Voice Of Seven Woods).

This is a hazy, dusty, psychedelic folk/rock affair, with some Middle Eastern-tinged antics thrown about throughout, largely instrumental, album. Each song melts into the next, carried by the cloudburst of a roaring psychedelic current. Wavy Eastern rhythms & guitar solos scattered across everything, with cantering acoustic guitars & propulsive grooves preventing the sound from ever lapsing into a proggy slumber. Yet, somehow, this all combines together into this hypnotically engaging piece of work.

As bizarre as this album may sound, it's actually really accessible, & could perhaps garner a few fans here.

Their myspace (http://www.myspace.com/voiceofthesevenwoods) has the song "The Burning Mountain", which is a good indicator of the album.

Any fans, share some love & discussion?

Sounds interesting, will check it out

Good man, hope you enjoy it.

Anyone who does check this out, feel free to share your thoughts. I think this might be the kind of album that once a couple people spark an interest in it, a lot more may just follow. It is a really good listen. Something so commandingly re-playable about it.

Anyone else feeling this? I figured there might be a few of you hiding amongst the woodwork. It's a pretty sweet & interesting project.

The closing song, "Disappearances" is one of the best songs on the album, but it's hidden underneath such massive electric songs before it.

I just listened to 'The Burning Bridge' and am very impressed. Aptly named song, too, as it gives off a very fiery vibe. I'll have to check that album out.
