Psychedelic, Quirky, Classic American Rock…are just a few of the words that makes a music reviewers heart sink when reading the latest press release of ‘Next Big Thing.’ Unfortunately for the Nottingham based band, The Soundcarriers, Psychedelic was used in their press release for their album, Harmonium.
The album lasts an epic 16 tracks, equating to a very long 64 minutes and 59 seconds, using what the band described as an ‘Arsenal’ of instruments from Harps to Recorders to create a record with warmth and depth. This begins to become rather tiresome after track 5, with ‘warm depth’ turning into self-indulged drones leading from one track to the other, making the album quite draining to listen to. Leaving you with a ‘When is it going to end!?’ feeling that I felt watching the last Lord of the Rings film.
