Sinkadus from Gothenburg, Sweden was formed 10 years ago, and now
they are releasing their debut-CD "Aurum Nostrum" (which is Latin
for Our Gold).
From The beginning of their career they were playing Genesis
covers, and you can hear that on this album. It's very reminiscent
to Genesis ca. 1971, but with traces of Nordic folk music. They
are also reminiscent to Änglagård, Museo Rosenbach and Cathedral.
The line-up and the sound remind of Änglagård.
Just like Änglagårds debut CD, this album also got 4 tracks:
"Snålblåst", "Manuel", "Ågren" and "Ättestupan". The shortest
track is 11:06 and the longest 18:28. Although the tracks are very
long the music is very varied and complex, and it keeps the
interest the whole songs through. They've got layers or Mellotron
and Hammond. Ad some fast-fingered bas and guitar playing, an
excellent drummer, good vocals, and the beautiful tune from flute
and cello. This is a album that is gonna be mentioned together
with albums like Landberk's "Riktigt äkta", Änglagård's "Hybris",
White Willow's "Ignis Fatuus" and Anekdoten's "Vemod", when we are
summing The Scandinavian classics from The 90's. A perfect
masterpiece that i highly recommends!
Änglagård is carrying the traditions of the 70's into the 90's.
They are one of the best bands to emerge in the 90's. Rest in
peace Änglagård. Long live Sinkadus!
