MIRROR OF THE WOODS

I enjoyed their debut from 2010 called "Astral Shaman" and I just remember saying "lots of distortion" throughout the review. This one "Mirror Of The Woods" is from 2015 and is quite different. While you wouldn't be surprised to know this is an American band after hearing their debut the truth is you would be surprised to know that these are Americans playing this Raga/World music much of the time on "Mirror Of The Woods".

There's one track that would fit on the debut. Lots of ethnic sounds on the rest and this is just a tough listen for me. But that lone song I'm talking about "Eyes Of The Overworld" is faster paced and more traditional psychedelic sounding. That's my favourite with the title track being the other one I liked. Just look at the track titles and you can see the change in direction from the debut to more of a Raga theme. 3 stars.
