Haunting, mystical, minimalist yet jangly exotica that envokes images of Charalambides and Terry Riley jamming in a Eastern Turkish underground coffee house, even though Islaja is Finnish.
The Coast ExplodesThe Coast Explodes by Mammatus
Buy new: £8.05 / Used from: £11.04
Heavy psyched out sun torched stoner which delivers the goods. Freaked out melodies collide with forceful drumming to create mellowed out but hard hitting spacey stoner rock. Their debut also rocks
