Psychedelic Rock, Psychedelic Pop Rock, CD kiadvány, 2014-es album.
This is the debut album for the Finnish band Permanent Clear Light and it’s entitled „Beyond These Things”.
The band has been gaining quite a lot of attention in the psychedelic community. At the same time, for prog fans there is much to appreciate here as well as the band weave a musical path that covers both the prog and psych territory. The trio formed in 2009 but each of the members brought with them a lengthy resume of musical experience in a wide range of genres and styles. The band is made up of Markku Helin (lead guitar, synth bass), Arto Kakko (percussion, keys electric violin, guitar, vocals) and Matti Laitinen (vocals, guitar). They actually perform on a wide range of instruments not listed there and that’s really what creates such a grand musical scope for their music going from heavy psychedelia to more symphonic vibes.
The overall feel of the music is pleasantly laid-back, almost dreamy. That said the band will take time to play with those more relaxed moments repeating a riff and building in intensity to near noise states before relaxing and moving on to the next riff. The psychedelia is ever present with phasing suddenly appearing on a track or droning instrumentation or trance-like rhythms. The band clearly has embraced this musical style. Put together they create compositions that are full of a myriad of intriguing sounds and yet are airy enough to breathe. The mood is rarely dense but rather subdued and even pleasant.
