I actually listen to 70s Stoner / Psychedelic / Progressive Rock less frequently. Today's bands that operate in this style, such as QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, FU MANCHU, BLACK MOUNTAIN, HAWKWIND, QUEENSRYCHE, MONSTER MAGNET, etc., have significantly changed the original music, so it was refreshing to hear the old groove of the 70s in an incredibly cool sound of the present time.
And I must admit, listening to "Pioneers" really takes me back to the 70s with all that comes with it. At least that's how I imagine the 70s, somewhere in the vast landscapes of the USA (or in a gravel pit near Vlotho at the first Umsonst und Draußen - Festival in Germany...) naked, free, and high on drugs... uh, I mean toiletries. In any case, SIENA ROOT completely blows me away with their sixth album...
These guitar riffs, amazing.... This Hammond organ, a dream... These melodies and the feeling, impressive.... And above all, this bluesy, warm voice...
I find it hard to describe, the easiest way is for you to get a 5-minute impression of the 5 Norwegians from the 5th track of the album => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKttTNn2vNg#t=30
Present meets 70s, I think the long-haired guys, who have been spreading their music around the world for over 15 years, have conveyed this very well in this video.
Come on, here's the second song from "Pioneers" as well => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3Hu6EFx6D0
However, the highlight for me is the eighth and thus unfortunately also the last song of the album, the 10-minute "In my kitchen", which reminds me so much of the DOORS... Crazy.... Amazing.... Awesome....
I don't know how many times I've already listened to these 42 minutes in the car in ecstasy... In any case, time flies with SIENA ROOT....
And yet I can't give the highest score! Without a booklet, without a lyrics sheet... I don't even understand half of what they actually want to tell me :-(
On the other hand, you can feel the attitude of the 5 Stockholmers every second ;-)
