Artist: Mythic Sunship
Album: Upheaval
Year: 2018
Rating: 85/100
Danish quartet Mythic Sunship are an instrumental psychedelic rock band in the vein of bands such as Yawning Man, Øresund Space Collective and fellow countrymen Causa Sui. Their four track opus Upheaval is their sixth full length studio effort, having taken listeners on a spaced out journey since 2009.
The second Upheaval gets under way, we're greeted with layers of effects pedal-ridden guitars that are suitably hypnotic without becoming hypnotic's evil twin, boring. In addition to that, when the quartet think an idea has run its musical course, they change things up a bit and re-plot the idea's co-ordinates before a return to the original idea. This is all done with precision and excellent timing.
Mythic Sunship are now very much veterans of space rock, and Upheaval is a solid release, with only the third track clocking in at under ten minutes long. If this album was longer it would cause the listener's interest to waver, but they do enough to engage the listener to make Upheaval an interesting and enjoyable listening experience.
