Many nice melodies connected by different instruments from theremin to tablas. The vocals strech like a long psychedelic chewing gum through the tracks, sounds seem to run backwards, but the melody keeps them all together. Betti
On their second album, Braid of Knees, this Norwegian band delivers some of
the most authentic slices of pop-psyche you'll hear in this millennium, or
any other. All of the requisite pieces are in place: heavy, busy guitar
figures, a variety of keyboard instruments and strings, and lead singer
Oyvind Holm's reedy vocals, which are suitably multi-tracked. If someone
told you that "The Water Choir's Drowning," and "Sum Genius" came from one
of the Rubble or Strange Days collections, you'd believe it! Others like
"Hallelujah Feedback" are particularly freakbeat. "Queen Underfed" injects
a bit of Olde English jangle, "Dead Right" and "Nothing Is For Keeps" sound
like what might happen if The Rooks went psychedelic, and "Caught Me
Dreaming" has that ultra full review

The Olivia Tremor Control know it, the Mooseheart Faith guys know it, and the
Lazily Spun knew it before they self-destructed. The Green Pajamas have
probably always known it. The four- or eight-track home studio is the
psychedelic canvas of the nineties, freeing musicians from the dead weight of
the commercial studio environment and providing them with the space and time
to encode their visions accurately. Home-brewed or not, these environments
probably give 90s underground musicians more sound-sculpting options than
George Martin ever had when he was creating some of the greatest recorded work
of the 20th Century, and so are formidable tools in the right hands. Øyvind
Holm, the creative force behind Norway's Dipsomaniacs, certainly has the right full review
