Our Take

In the ever-expanding galaxy of prog rock, Rikard Sjoblom's Gungfly stands out like a supernova. Their latest offering, "On Her Journey To The Sun," is a mind-bending trip through eclectic musical landscapes, each more bizarre and beautiful than the last.

From the opening track "Of The Orb", Sjoblom takes us on a cosmic joyride of swirling guitars, intricate drum patterns and haunting vocals. It's like being abducted by aliens, but in the best possible way.

The album's title track "On Her Journey To The Sun" is a prog masterpiece in itself, with its hypnotic bass lines and soaring melodies. It's a sonic voyage that will leave you feeling like you've just been to another dimension and back.

But it's not all space-age soundscapes and mind-bending instrumentals. Tracks like "Polymixia" and "Over My Eyes" showcase Sjoblom's songwriting prowess, with poignant lyrics and infectious hooks that will have you singing along in no time.

In conclusion, "On Her Journey To The Sun" is a mesmerising blend of prog rock, psychedelia and pure musical wizardry. Sjoblom and his Gungfly cohorts have crafted a truly out-of-this-world experience that will leave you craving more. Beam us up, Rikard!
