2011 welcomes the studio return of My Brother the Wind with their second
album "I Wash My Soul in the Stream of Infinity", a triumph in
majestic, psychedelic space rock.
Recorded in 4 hours on an Ampex MM 1000 16K by Love Tholin at Drop Out
Analogue Studio in Åmål during the cold Swedish winter's night of
January 22nd and mixed by the band on January 23rd, the album boasts 6
improvised tracks of exquisite beauty, including a tribute song to the
late, great Torbjörn Abelli of Swedish influential prog band Träd, Gräs
och Stenar. With the focus less on guitar solos and more on group
virtuosity, the instrumentation is altered to create interesting and
intricately layered soundscapes, distinguishing it from the first album
in more ways than one, and channelling the true spirit and sound of the
free and innovative 70's, when the soul of experimentation was king and
warmth of sound his queen.
Starting with the pulsating, driving "Fire! Fire!" and ending with the
meanderingly wistful title track, this album offers something for
everyone, incorporating every mood and managing to bridge the new and
exciting with the comforting familiarity of the past without a hint of
cliché, and is already being hailed by leading progressive/psychedelic
rock sites as one of the most important releases of 2011.
