Wolfmother
Mind's Eye

THE REVIEW

I have been following Wolfmother since the beginning and I bought the self-titled album shortly after its release, surprised and satisfied by their ability to somewhat appease the melancholy towards a past that is increasingly distant and mythical. The choice to review this particular single gravitates specifically around the perfect blend of the two songs that I consider the most representative of the LP, with a completely new and very interesting piece.

The CD opens with the thoughtful "Mind's Eye", a perfect fusion of the various influences of rock archetypes. The clear and clean sound of the organ introduces the thoughtful melody of the guitar which, together with Stockdale's sharp voice, transports the listener to an epic dimension of yesteryear. The riffs that follow only amplify the piece's solemnity in a sort of ascending climax culminating with the keyboard solo, which leads to the conclusion of the track. Next comes the frequently-heard "Woman". Not much to say, an enticing and sharp riff coordinated with the usual incredible voice, a perfect amalgamation between the unleashed overdrive of the guitar and the harmoniousness of multi-instrumentalist Ross's organ. To conclude the work, there is the long-awaited "Earth's Rotation Around The Sun", bonus track of the EP. The piece is an open ode to Floyd, rhythms and effects are a clear banner of Barrettian psychedelic rock, as are the abrupt changes in rhythm. To this rarefied and foggy atmosphere suddenly joins, like a flash, a guitar riff of the same nature as those of other 'Mother tracks like "Dimension" or "Colossal".

The result is an incredibly pleasant sensation of harmonic discordance.
