Our Take

BIG SCENIC NOWHERE's latest offering, "The Waydown," is a kaleidoscopic journey through the cosmos of psychedelic rock. The Transparent Blue/Purple Splatter Vinyl is not just a visual feast for the eyes, but a sonic delight for the ears.

From the opening track, "The Gnostic," we are greeted with swirling guitar riffs and hypnotic rhythms that transport us to another dimension. The collaboration between Bob Balch (Fu Manchu) and Gary Arce (Yawning Man) is a match made in heaven, with their intricate guitar work weaving together seamlessly throughout the album.

Tracks like "Mirror Image" and "Hidden Wall" showcase the band's ability to effortlessly shift between heavy, fuzz-laden riffs and dreamy, ethereal atmospheres. The dynamic range displayed on this album is truly impressive, keeping the listener engaged from start to finish.

The vocals, provided by Tony Reed (Mos Generator) and Lisa Alley (The Well), add an extra layer of dimension to the already rich tapestry of sound. Reed's gritty delivery contrasts beautifully with Alley's hauntingly beautiful voice, creating a mesmerising blend that draws you in and refuses to let go.

Overall, "The Waydown" is a triumph for BIG SCENIC NOWHERE, showcasing their ability to push the boundaries of psychedelic rock while maintaining a sense of fun and experimentation. This album is a must-listen for any fans of the genre, and a testament to the enduring power of collaboration in music.
