THE MOVEMENTS, from Gothenburg, Sweden, has opened the gates to the great world of Psychedelic Rock. This fall they will release their new album, "Like Elephants 1".
"Like Elephants 1" is a very exciting project because, as the title suggests, it is the first disc of two ("Like Elephants 2" is scheduled for release in early 2014). Working out two albums into a unique whole has been innovative, challenging and inspiring for THE MOVEMENTS What is special about these two albums is that they not only stand strong individually but also create a whole, a kind of continuity, together. With these two volumes THE MOVEMENTS takes courageous distance from today's fast-food consumption of songs pulled out of their context and instead dare to demand a greater commitment by the listener who, in return, gets to experience something special taking the time listening through the entire albums.
"LikeElephants 1" offers swirling psychedelia in "Great Deceiver", catchy rock riffs with "All The Lostand" at moments leaning towards the folk rock with "It Takes A Spark". The album consists of ten well-worked songs of high quality and has for the most part been recorded at Music A Matic in Gothenburg.
THE MOVEMENTS possess great stage- and songwriting skills and has over the years toured most European countries. THE MOVEMENTS' upcoming album, "Like Elephants 1", is being released on October 25th and will be followed by gigs around Sweden and Europe.
