Our Take

Prepare to have your ears tickled, your mind blown, and your socks knocked off by the delightful sounds of Dando Shaft's self-titled album. Hailing from the psychedelic folk scene of 1970s Britain, this band knows how to weave a sonic tapestry that transports listeners to a whimsical world of enchantment and wonder. From the moment the needle hits the vinyl, Dando Shaft takes you on a musical journey that is as captivating as it is quirky. With their intricate harmonies, intricate melodies, and lush instrumentation, the band creates a sound that is both timeless and utterly unique. It's like being serenaded by a troupe of woodland creatures at a magical midnight picnic. Songs like "Coming Home to Me" and "Railway" showcase the band's ability to blend folk, blues, and psychedelia into a seamless and mesmerizing tapestry of sound that will have you hitting repeat again and again. The vocal harmonies are so tight, they could give The Beach Boys a run for their money, while the instrumentation is so lush and intricate, it's like a sonic feast for the ears. So grab a cup of tea, cozy up by the fire, and let Dando Shaft whisk you away on a musical adventure that is as enchanting as it is unforgettable. This album is a true gem of the psychedelic folk genre, and a must-listen for any fan of boundary-pushing, mind-expanding music. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

DANDO SHAFT: A Psychedelic Journey Through Time Dando Shaft, the enigmatic British musician, is a true maverick in the folk rock scene. With a sound that seamlessly blends intricate acoustic guitar melodies, haunting vocals, and whimsical flute solos, Dando Shaft takes listeners on a psychedelic journey through time.
