pinkytheent Sometimes you are listening to some band that is ALMOST there, but something is just missing. It's heavy, it's juicy, but it just doesn't quite tip over the edge. Then you listen to a group who actually put real effort into vocals, making them a highly intentional instrument within the arrangement rather than just a faded sticker slapped on top, and bam. Flavortown. A doomed psychedelic dish of excellent color. Everything clicks and the songs haze and expand like a colorful nebula. Favorite track: Creeper AD.

about

TWUFTM have riffs as heavy as Osmium and melodic lead guitar lines (think Gilmour meets Buck Dharma) as strong as spider's silk, it’s a wonder they managed to escape the atmosphere. Perhaps it’s because the sublime vocals of TWUFTM's twin 'Space Angels' Luna Nemesis and Nova 101001 guide you beautifully through the clouds. In fact their vocals are a total highlight throughout and lift this record far above any genre pigeonholing.

As to the music … the colossal weight of riffs on this first-contact missive are made so gloriously enjoyable by memorable hooks, honed repetition and and an agile rhythm section that can make each one of their (sometimes 10 minute) stargaze rides feel like an epic odyssey. Fellow space travellers Hawkwind and Pink Floyd, and even Spacemen 3, have been in similar orbits before, but never this heavy.
TWUFTM don't just breathe new life into cosmic tones, they take it to a different level.
‘Cosmic Chronicles: Act 1, The Ascension’ is space opera for Heavy Psych Doommers and Shoegazers alike. Something new within Heavy Psychedelics, in fact it's something new anywhere.
