The Amazing - Gentle Stream

Review by Els

Gentle Stream is the kind of album that's going to help you get through the winter.»

swedish pysch-folk-pop colllective's second full length. the amazing features members of dungen. 'gentle stream' is widescreen, panoramic, horizon-reaching stuff. an elegantly constructed record of moody psychedelic majesty, it comes with a greater dose of crosby, stills, nash and young-style laurel canyon bliss than those previous recordings. its eight songs clock in at a luxurious 45 minutes long, during which astral guitars intertwine in serpentine solos, horns blast rainbow melodies and gunrup's flute-like voice floats elegantly over the sunset sounds. nothing is introverted or overworked - everything is balanced, kept together by natural melodies, soulful vocals and just how perfect should be. gentle stream is a feeling, an organic consequence of something that effortlessly came together.
