Album Notes & Community Reviews

Inspired by esoteric concepts and communal musical participation, 'Under The Spell Of Joy' leans heavily into psychedelic and space-rock territories. The compositions emphasize hypnotic, repetitive grooves over traditional punk brevity, incorporating saxophone and expansive synthesizers. The release functions as a sprawling, atmospheric exploration of collective consciousness and sonic mysticism.
