Did you know Spain had a Space Program ?

How is the sound ?

Pyramidal and Domo are two great Spanish bands, hailing from Alicante. This is where they recorded this 5 track split in January, and as the title says these are jams, with each band filling a side of the LP.

Jams From the Sun (Pyramidal & Domo Split LP) by Pyramidal

Pyramidal opens softly with “The Siren“, including some “mesmerizing chants” by Mireia Porto (used more like another instrument, there are no lyrics) and a great tenor sax by Arantxa Marín. As Black Bombaim showed in Africa II, sax can really be an excellent addition to psychedelic jams. This track end on a heavier note and leads into the second Pyramidal track, “Motormind“, which is more in a heavy-psych vibe and will make you headbang without even noticing it.

Jams From the Sun (Pyramidal & Domo Split LP) by Domo

Domo has three tracks, starting with the heavier one, “Viajero del Cosmos” (“Cosmos Traveler” in English), and well, the title doesn’t lie… It’s space-like in a Yuri Gagarin way, blasting heavy riffs like there’s no tomorrow. “Mantrastral” lets you breathe back for a few minutes, with a sound reminding the softer side of Causa Sui, before the last track, “Uróboros“. This one is a bit weird to describe. It’s a very hypnotic, slow but noisy, out-of-this-world experience.

Even with all the different styles of both bands, and even within the Domo side of the LP, this feels like a very coherent split, especially from a jam recording session !

Why is this album worth listening ?

Domo and Pyramidal are two great up-and-coming bands

Uróboros. If you can put this track into words, good for you 😀

You get a range of different psychedelic styles in a single LP, from jazzy to noisy, through “traditional” heavy-psych

Something particular to note ?

You can buy the LP on any band’s Bandcamp, but for the digital edition, you have to buy each side separately on the two Bandcamp sites.
