THINK LIKE A MOUNTAIN

I found this band just thanks to the 21st century lineup of the swedish legends Kaipa. As people may know, Patrick Lundstrom, voice, guitar and soul of Ritual also sings in Kaipa. If you listen to his voice maybe you will understand why I use the word soul.

Think Like A Mountain is their third album, and I find that it's their best effort along with their last work, The Hemulic Voluntary Band. This music may not be excessively complex, nor sybaritic, it is focused on the songs, on expression, with a progressive approach and point of view. They love harmonies and precios arrangements, with tasty use of acoustic instruments and crunchy guitars and deep rhyhtm section. Music is complex enough just to entertain the expert listener but direct enough to be interesting for most of the people.

As I said before, Patrick's voice is a highlight, his pitch is so special, it reaches so deep in heart and mind. Delicious songs like the opening What Are You Waiting For, the trascendental Humble Decision, more agressive is Explosive Paste, dreaming and floating is Mother You've Gone Much Too Long, folkies like Moomin' Took My Head or On. My favourite all along the record is Infinite Justice, it just blows you away.

A really great record!
