Dunes II

from PAN by White Manna

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    UNCUT MAGAZINE
    Few song titles summarize a band's aesthetic duality as neatly- or as entertainingly- as White Manna's "Hexagram of Goo" from 2014. Across three albums, they've channelled mysticism, consciousness altered by drugs and/ or meditation and elemental power of nature (they're big on dunes) via swirling, white noise blizzards, a ruthless motor drive and fuzz caked, garage punk riffage. Now Pan with its rip roaring "Evil" in particular, underlines the fact that this north Californian quintet look to The Stooges and MC5 as keenly as to Hawkwind, The Doors and latterday Lunfish. This is a wild and dirty, devotional trip that peaks with 12 shrieking, delay warped minutes that constitute closer "E Shra".

    Another blast of transcendent, spaced out, garage psych from these Arcata stoners, and like past records, it's another gloriously drug fueled, FX heavy excursion into the outer reaches of the sonic stratosphere. Pan starts off with a bang, that bang being a heady sprawl of Stooges-y swagger, doused in some serious Hawkwindy-y swirl, a pounding, churning tranced out hypno-rock that never lets up. The vox are buried, a mumbled wasted drawl, psychedelic organs shimmer in the background, multiple guitars tangle into wild serpentine shapes, the songs oozing organically, stretched out into endless zoner jams, occasionally settling into something a little more tranquil, only to explode into action moments later, and once in a while, winding down into something even more drone-y and dirge-like. And while the rock shorthand for Manna was always Stooges + Hawkwind, Pan is maybe the most perfect distillation of those two sides of the band's sonic psyche, maybe their most rocking, but without sacrificing a bit of the seventies style bongsmoke freakouts, in fact, most of the tracks leave the pop realm altogether within minutes of launch, and never look back.
