Details
Axis is Mugstar's long awaited fifth full length album - an expansive collection of songs that take the listener on a journey. The destination is not important it's all about the journey - travelling through different movements, diverse colours and sounds picking up from where Lime left us in August 2011. From the dark brooding ('Black Fountain') to the elevating ('Tangerina'), the cylindrical ('Axis Modulator') and the sonic mantra ('Upturnsidedown') Axis showcases a more diverse MUGSTAR whilst retaining their unmistakeable sonic wall of sound. Albeit mainly instrumental, theres a real psychedelic groove that emanates from the kraut-rock inspired sounds of this record, it will shake you down in the same way the first time you copped earfuls of Oneida, Neu!, Loop, Wooden Shjips, Bardo Pondo and even a puff of Hawkwind. Deluxe gatefold LP comes with MP3 code postcard and art prints..1000 only. CD in a digi-wallet.
