3.0 goodAntonius | August 1st 22

In its majority, Lucy in Blue carries a psychedelic sound texture which is inspired primarily by Pink Floyd and to a lesser extent, King Crimson and Camel. With respect to modern bands, I found this to have similarities with the early albums of fellow Nordics, Airbag. From opening sounds of 'Senses', it becomes pretty obvious who the heroes of this Icelandic quartet are. The eerie keyboards and the neat guitar notes create the vibe before drums set a rather sedate pace to create the psychedelic ambience in a Floyd-esque Echoes style. 'Dazed Petition' has a slightly different approach as the hammond frenzy-ness and relentless drumming create a traditional 70s prog feel. 'On the Surface' is a simple ballad striped to piano and vocals while the inaugural bass notes of 'Conflicting Sounds' create a mystique aura before the whole thing turns to a jazzy jam. 'Absent' has a pessimistic feel to it with some heartbreaking vocals as the song approaches to its end. Overall, the album is good and the production is decent, but it lacks interesting melodies that will make the end result more captivating. Recommendations: "Senses", "Absent".r
