In The Land of Silver Souls expands on the sounds explored on Rising Mountains, pushing the experience further into psychedelic territory while retaining the band’s signature attitude and charm. The duel male/female vocal approach from Martin Guevara (vocals/guitars) and Coni (vocals/bass) is mesmerizing when harmonizing and equally captivating solo. Their sneering rock and roll attitude may suggest they don’t care if you like their music or not, but after one listen to In The Land of Silver Souls, it’s going to be hard not to. Deep grooving rhythms and wailing guitars are ever present as the band shift between blazing riffs, spacey exploration, shimmering walls of sound, and thick catchy vocal melodies for an album that is sure to make noise in 2011.
