MP3: Elope - Black eyed citizen

When a band touted as the world's most mellow stoner rock act releases an acoustic album, you know the experience is gonna be waaaay chill. Elope's "9 distilled dreams" is billed as the dreamier, more folksy companion to last year's more upbeat "3WD", but since I never heard that record, I can't compare. All I know is that this new one is one of the most relaxed, easy-going records I've heard in some time. Thankfully, that's relaxed without being tepid, though it is easy to let the record's 35-minutes slip by with nary a notice. Pleasant and undemanding, but almost to the point of where I have to force myself to pay attention. It's main virtue is also to its detriment. It's cool, but I think I prefer my 70s stoner rock drenched in fuzz.

Swedish stonerrockers Elope have pushed back the release of their third album "9 distilled dreams" to early 2007.

Swedish mellow stonerrockers Elope will release their third album "Nine distilled dreams" this coming fall/winter via Graviation. Look for the band to tour Sweden and Norway in November.

Check out a stream of the new Elope song "Chewbacca": http://www.gravitation.nu/player.asp?discography=57
The song comes from the Swedish retro/stoner-rockers' new album "3WD" on Gravitation.

I forgot to mention it earlier this week, but the latest Aquarius Records new release list features quite a few Scandinavian music selections such as Audiopain, Elope, Alog, Imperium, Ratto Ja Lehtisalo and Shining: http://www.aquariusrecords.org/cat/newest.html
It's worth noting that the Elope disc they rave about can be bought directly from me for a full $2 cheaper. How you like dem apples?
