Smell Of Incense - All Mimsy Were The Borogoves
Review by Rafael Vianna Croffi
All Mimsy Were The Borogoves by Smell Of Incense is a mesmerizing album that takes the listener on an otherworldly journey. The band's unique blend of psychedelic rock, folk, and world music creates a dreamlike atmosphere that is both captivating and haunting.
The album opens with "The House of Delight," a mystical track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The hypnotic vocals and intricate instrumentation create a sense of wonder and enchantment. "A Visit to Newport Hospital" is another standout track that showcases the band's ability to seamlessly blend different genres.
Throughout the album, Smell Of Incense takes the listener on a journey through different moods and emotions. "The Smell of Incense" is a melancholic track that is both haunting and beautiful. "The Bridegroom & the Bride" is a celebratory track that is full of joy and energy.
