The Review:

Prepare to be transported back in time to the late 60s especially the golden age of psychedelia Originality isn’t the subject of the music here because each tune has a familiarity to them. Some more obvious than others but you do hear shades of Jefferson Airplane especially in Veronica Lostjarna has this great Grace Slick husky voice. The guitars and Organ sounds are a perfect blend to this dark brooding brand of psychedelia.

Each listen makes for a new experience and fear not, you don’t have to take any hallucinogens to get the full psychedelic effect of the music. Skyron Orchestra will appeal to just about anyone that enjoys the retro sound done with modern production. This is another one of Sweden’s new bands that is ready to conquer the music world much in the way the Swedes did in the 90's with progressive rock. This is a very enjoyable and recommended release.
