When psych-rockers ventured into a church and emerged with fresh sounds: The new album by Electric Eye began its journey in the Skåre Kirke during the Sildajazz festival. Traditional rock instruments were set aside in favor of organ, choral elements, and analog synths.
The result is a collection of atmospheric tracks, further developed in the studio and now released as Dyp Tid (Fuzz Club). It’s undoubtedly the most unusual and experimental work from the Norwegian band.
The album feels more like a meditative journey, entirely forgoing rock elements. Cosmic sounds, nature recordings, and the aforementioned church organ dominate the soundscape. The songs are understated and mystical, drawing from ambient and jazz influences.
The centerpiece is the 14-minute-long “Mycelium,” which builds organically and embarks on a dramatic voyage featuring spoken word. Surrounding it is a range of sounds, where anything unique and evocative is fair game—including subtle traces of tropical vibes.
