Review by Craig McGill

Les Big Byrd's latest album is a stunning showcase of their unique blend of psychedelic rock and shoegaze. The Swedish band's self-titled album is a thrilling journey through dreamy soundscapes and trippy melodies.

The album opens with "Interstellar Love," a swirling and hypnotic track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, Les Big Byrd takes the listener on a wild ride through a variety of moods and textures. "Snö-Golem" is a slow-burning jam that builds to a fuzzed-out climax, while "I Tried to Fight It But I Was Inside It" is a haunting and ethereal ballad.

Throughout the album, Les Big Byrd's musicianship is on full display. The band's intricate guitar work and lush arrangements create a dense and immersive sonic landscape. At times, the album feels like a hazy dream, with the band's droning guitars and spacey synths creating a hypnotic trance.

About Les Big Byrd

Psych-leaning indie act Les Big Byrd was formed in Stockholm, Sweden around 2011 by Joakim Åhlund and Frans Johansson. Two stalwarts of the Swedish underground music scene, Åhlund was formerly of garage-flavored act the Caesars and also worked with the more electronic project Teddybears. Johansson had been part of Fireside, a rock band signed for a time to Def American. After the dissolution of both of their bands, the two came together over a love of experimental rock sounds, forming Les Big Byrd with former Fireside drummer Nino Keller and keyboardist Konie. The band, made up of music heads and studio engineers, began jamming and cultivating ideas, eventually releasing single Zig-Smile to moderate buzz. A chance encounter at a record store between the Les Big Byrd folks and a visiting Anton Newcombe (on tour with Brian Jonestown Massacre) resulted in a lengthy conversation about music, which eventually led to Newcombe inviting the band to his Berlin studios for a few days of jamming. The recordings resulted in the band's 2014 debut album They Worshipped Cats. A vinyl-only companion piece, the Back to Bagarmossen 10
