THE CANTOS (vinyl)

Description

LITTLE JIMI’s new album, The Cantos, is nothing less than the initiatory and sonic tale of their character Jimi, whose schizophrenic personality is the gateway to a sharp, introspective and chimerical musical universe. The trio aptly combines space rock, trippy doom and 90’s influences. Hypnotic riffs and creative intelligence are concentrated here in six intense and exhilarating tracks. Wrapped in an effective layer of fuzz and bombarded by powerful drum hits, the first single “Last Cantos” announces a high psychedelic and mystical content with a theme directly borrowed from Greek mythology. Its gradual build in power makes it truly addictive. The band adds about the album: “The Cantos is an album inspired by texts dealing with the idea of travel, such as Homer’s The Odyssey, both for the story and the artwork. It was a real guiding thread for us, because we knew which direction we wanted to go in, and it carried the whole musical creation. We were able to take the time to compose and create this record, nothing was done in a rush, and thanks to that, nothing was left to chance, which makes The Cantos an object we are very proud of.” FOR FANS OF: MARS RED SKY, SLIFT, YAWNING MAN, ALL THEM WITCHES. We are clearly still here in the family of heavy psychedelic rock rooted in the 60’s and 70’s, however with the more modern influence of 90’s stoner and musicians like Ty Segall and Birth Of Joy. --- LONGUEUR D’ONDES ---
