Our Take

Tucked away in the mystical Hexen Valley lies GNOD's latest offering, a kaleidoscopic journey that fuses psychedelic rock with electronic experimentation. This coloured vinyl release is like stumbling upon a technicolour dreamcoat in a sea of dull greys.

From the pulsating rhythms of "Visceral Repulsion" to the ethereal melodies of "Uncle Frank Says Turn It Down," GNOD manages to create a sonic landscape that is as disorienting as it is captivating. The band effortlessly weaves together disparate elements, creating a sound that is both chaotic and harmonious.

The album is not without its dark corners, however. Tracks like "Wandering Wizard" and "Black Eye Blues" hint at a sense of foreboding, adding a layer of tension to an otherwise blissful experience. This juxtaposition of light and shadow is what sets GNOD apart from their contemporaries.

At times, Hexen Valley feels like a fever dream, with its swirling synths and distorted vocals creating a sense of unease. But just when you think you've lost your way, GNOD pulls you back with a thunderous riff or a hypnotic groove.

In a music industry inundated with cookie-cutter pop stars and formulaic hits, GNOD stands out as a beacon of originality. Hexen Valley is a testament to the band's fearlessness in pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territory. So grab your headphones, dim the lights, and let yourself be transported to the enigmatic world of GNOD.
