Greenleaf was once in the beginning an aspect challenge shaped by means of Tommi Holappa, guitarist of Dozer. Tommi to begin with introduced in pals from Truckfighters, Lowrider, and Demon Cleaner, however their lineup fluctuated through the years. It sort of feels he has after all completed balance with this crew. Tommi supplies the huge ’70s-inspired riffage, supported by means of drummer Sebastian Olsson and bassist Hans Frohlich, who lay down a significant groove. Arvid Hallagard, previously of Large House Cruiser, brings soulful vocals, enriched by means of his classical coaching.
Olsson maintains a gradual rhythm whilst Holappa grinds out a riff at the opener ‘Breathe, Breathe Out‘. Frohlich joins in, and in combination they unharness a wall of sound with their acquire pedals, permitting Hallagard to croon excessive. The monitor is catchy, with a dismal melody and Hallagard’s clean, masculine supply. ‘Avalanche‘ leans against conventional vintage rock, that includes Olsson’s tribal-esque drumming and reverb-heavy vocals. ‘Other Horse‘ injects some boogie into the combo. On ‘A Wolf In My Head‘, Olsson showcases his versatility throughout his drum equipment, whilst Holappa demonstrates his knack for riff-craft, delving into full-on psychedelia with Hallagard demonstrating his vocal vary.
‘That Obsidian Grin‘ introduces a touch of Fleetwood Mac blues in a short lived however impactful monitor, the place Hallagard shines. ‘The Sirens Sound‘ channels darkish Doorways-like rock ‘n’ roll, adopted by means of the funky ‘Oh Dandelion‘, which exudes uncooked power. The album culminates within the over-eight-minute epic ‘The Tricking Tree‘, mixing bluesy psychedelia with ‘An Alabastrine Smile‘ leaving listeners with a heat, fuzzy, and punctiliously glad feeling.
This album is spectacular, brimming with ’70s-inspired grooves and riffs that evoke nostalgia for the generation. You’ll be able to nearly really feel the cheesecloth and scent the ‘Hai Karate‘ seeping in the course of the audio system. It’s time to crack open a Watney’s birthday celebration seven and crank up the amount. That is the sound of freedom — freedom of idea, freedom of artwork, and the freedom to be oneself with out compromise.
