ChameleouS – 'Wicked Din'

What it covers

Mike Mineo walks the album's opening stretch track by track, reading Wicked Din as psych-rock built on dynamic song structures rather than hooks. He spends most of his attention on the first three songs — the tonal shifts in I Knew, the seven-plus minutes of Kiss Hello, and the organ-and-synth interplay of the title track — and closes by calling the record a success outright.

This is a striking opening track that is wonderfully exemplary of the band's knack for passionate, evolving song structures and stylish rock charisma.

Obscure Sound

A similarly dynamic pull shows on “Kiss Hello,” which spans 7+ minutes of textured psych-rock enthrallment, traversing from debonair melodic beginnings to more upfront personality.

Obscure Sound

Glistening organs and hazy guitar work complement doses of escalated melodic entrancement, with an interplay of synths and guitar gripping at the two-minute turn and leading into a delectably eerie choral procession.
