Onségen Ensemble - Awalaï (2016) (Full Album)

Welcome the mystic aura of Onsegen Ensemble from Finland. The band has found unique ways to explore the outer realms of the space, psychedelic and progressive rock genres. The experimental nature of the band is inspiring as they keep the music colorful and intriguing. Their chemistry is pretty remarkable, the way the music flows between mesmerizing space rock and heavy psychedelics is downright masterful. Awalai, released through Pink Tank Records will consume your conscious and fill the need for any music exploration you desire. The album is loaded with so many highlights. The track “Solei” comes to mind right away and its brilliance. Talk about a song that has it all; chanting vocals, flutes and heaviness, it’s a psychedelic trip worth taking. The last cut “HottoizzoH” features some classic Rush elements, we’re talking Caress of Steel era Rush. The synths in the title track Awalaï are terrific and adds a touch of 70s psychedelia to the mix. Crank this one up, you’ll appreciate the craftsmanship.

The vocals are very distinctive, there doesn’t seem to be one dominant vocal performance. At times we hear some death metal styled vocals and others we are treated to some falsetto type chants, very unique. Awalia is one of those albums that hooked from the start and never let go. The boundless musical journey Onsegen Ensemble will take you on is tremendous. Bands like Hawkwind, MC5 or even Frank Zappa will come to mind, there is just too much going on to put into words, just forgo previewing this one and get it.
