La Otracina: Blood Moon Riders
Label: Holy Mountain
No need to be fancy—just gaze into the cover of Blood Moon Riders and you’ll quickly grasp what dimension this heavy psychedelic trio (earthly hq: Brooklyn) calls home. Still, few bands old or new display such free-ranging power and ambition, wherever they live. La Otracina’s thunderous instrumental psychedelia (previously documented on one “proper” album and several CD-r’s) is the result of three lead instruments—guitar, bass and drums (led by Sound Fix’s own Adam Kriney) operating with one-mind dynamism, moving like dramatic weather across shifting terrain. Tightly wound proggy romps, weighty ambience, all-out rock detonations—this band does it all, massively.
