In contrast to the vast majority of Swedish vintage acts subject to the heavier/energetic tracts of psychedelic/vintage rock, Lykantropi indulge themselves and their prospective audience with a lighter, enticingly introspective sound. The eight cuts of Lykantropi, "fast" or "slow", "straightforward" or "elaborate", are all tied together with the string of minimalism and calmness that goes back to the primal moments of outfits like Ten Years After, Jethro Tull, Simon & Garfunkel, even; While songs succeed each other, they tend to blend into each other in terms of memorability, however these Swedes keep things interesting with their joyfully somber spirit, which reflects the traditions of their land, the latter carved from the harshness with which light and darkness bathes the Scandinavian peninsula, and the myth-shaping effect of the Northern Lights. Favourite songs: Black Old Stone, Julie (Old Death Whisper), Alexandra, Dödens Dans. The album is streaming at Spotify.

As Voivod already mentioned, Lykantropi differentiate themselves by focusing more on the lighter side of the '70s San Francisco psych movement that owes a lot to bands such as Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane, among others. In addition, the band's debut exudes a genuinely vintage odor with its warm sound which only adds to the overall experience. Very promising debut.
