Album Review: ORIENTAL SUNSHINE - Dedicated To The Bird We Love

Step into a time machine and transport yourself back to the groovy days of the 1970s with ORIENTAL SUNSHINE's latest album, "Dedicated To The Bird We Love." This Norwegian psychedelic folk band has captured the essence of a bygone era and brought it back to life with a modern twist.

From the moment the opening track, "Across Your Life," kicks in, you can't help but be swept away by the dreamy, ethereal melodies and hypnotic rhythms. It's like being enveloped in a warm, musical hug that transports you to a sun-drenched meadow filled with wildflowers and butterflies.

Lead vocalist Rune Walle's soothing voice is a perfect match for the band's lush, intricate arrangements, creating a sense of otherworldly beauty that is both comforting and exhilarating. The album's title track, "Dedicated To The Bird We Love," is a standout, with its intricate finger-picked guitar work and haunting flute melodies.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album - tracks like "Violet Dreams" and "The Visitor" delve into darker, more introspective themes, adding depth and complexity to ORIENTAL SUNSHINE's already spellbinding sound.

Overall, "Dedicated To The Bird We Love" is a musical journey that is as captivating as it is timeless. So sit back, relax, and let ORIENTAL SUNSHINE take you on a trip to a magical world where birds sing, love reigns, and the sun always shines. Trust us, you won't regret it.
