Halcyon 02:43
2.
Nemesis 03:29
The night creates the doom on the earth The night creates the fate on the earth The night creates the death on the earth The night creates the sleep on the earth The night creates the dreams on the earth The night creates nemesis
3.
Γη των ανέμων You lay yourself on the bed of the earth There's no place like home in the universe Down on the bed of the earth Out of the universe
4.
The Vine 03:57
Until the river turns to wine You'll find the way back to your house It's getting warmer in the night It makes no sense at all And you will hold the pitcher high And dance the night until it's gone It's getting colder in the light It makes no sense at all
5.
Golden Light 03:37
I see her painted eyes on every road that I'm on Hew falling clouds are made of white and blue and I'm on Don't ever try to understand the way that she talks It's gonna take a while you can't make it happen I see her calling me in every morning dream and she's gone I'm running back in time through a golden light and she's gone Don't even try to understand the way that she walks It's gonna take a while you can't make it happen
6.
Hunt the light Hunt the light Hunt the light Hunt the light On her toes Αφροδίτη On her toes Find the sun under her skin Find the sun under her skin Find the sun under her skin Find the sun under her skin Αφροδίτη
7.
She was back in the morning I heard the sound of the trees Her long cold fingers Her feet on the leaves Bend the trees We were married on white sands In a full moon breeze She was holding a poniard I had the ring Bend the trees
8.
Icarus 04:24
It's getting kind of strange We look synchronized Following the truth I can see the space in your eyes Chained to the sun How far can we fly Until we melt down I can see the space in your eyes
9.
Ice Giants 03:12
Under the waterclouds form thunderstorms We'll find a place to hide Out of the light And if the blue and light reach the human eye We'll take the dark wind one last time Out of the light I had a dream last night We fell down from the sky No place to hide Out of the light
10.
Cacti 04:32
Tame the fire Hold me up We're falling higher Crawling back You must have known it Been here before You can touch me when I'm gone It's been a long time It's all the same Your hands are cacti Throwing shade You must have known it Been here before You can touch me when I'm gone

about

Bearing in mind that ‘’psych’’ is not an abbreviation of Psychedelia, what we have here, is a perfect example of a band throwing away the ‘’demon’’ word, which might lead you astray and presenting a debut album that is so much more. This five-piece from Athens, Greece is a joy to hear, as we watch the confrontation of so many genres and the unscratched exodus from the battle within. Instrumental ‘’Halcyon’’, with its effect galore presentation, leads to up-beat ‘’Nemesis’’ where the keyboards explore further a familiar territory of sounds. ‘’Bed of the earth’’ is a European top-notch psych tune, worth its weight like any remarkable song Fuzz Club Records has ever released. Rural psych-folk (‘’The Vine’’), slow tempo-guitar pedals board driven (‘’Icarus’’) and another armada of up-beat compositions, find the final track of this record (‘’Cacti’’) as the culmination of a psych trip you most certainly wish to start once more!

Holy Monitor is a psychedelic rock quintet whose sound incorporates elements of krautrock, space rock and ambient music. The band's reverb soaked vocals crawl beneath waves of pulsating minimal rhythms, while fuzz driven guitars and proggy keys create a hypnotic sonic ambience. ... more
