The resilient recessive Seventies krautrock gene surfaces in Scandinavia, with Gothenburg’s Hills joining Goat and Circle in a growing Norse pantheon of glögg-fuelled trance-rockers.
A belated British push for this, the band’s second album, anticipating further bombardment, softens the ground with sphincter-dilating bass grooves, vapor trails of hiss, pounding production line rhythms, Lutheran organ drones, and sparse vocal mantras, that reach their apogee in the epic title track.
The ambient soundscape of Claras Vaggvisa and Death Shall Come’s monastic chanting vary the mood.
