Recorded and mixed at Electraplay Studios by James Allison, Ben Rohletter and Tony Stewart. Mastered by Adam Smith.
\"Brujas Del Sol are a four piece who hail from Columbus, Ohio but on the strength of the music offered here they could very well have come from outer space. Not the space of some futuristic Iain M. Banks novel though, but more akin to a 1950's B movie. At once retro and outer reach, Brujas Del Sol take you on a journey the likes of which haven't been seen since mid period Pink Floyd.
That era of Ummagumma and the ilk is probably the best touchstone for what,s on offer here. Brujas Del Sol deliver up a melting pot of “songs” which spread their wings and take flight just when you least expect them to. They sneak up on you and before you know it you are transported to a dust plain or a battle worn castle.
By expanding on a simple melody, each track takes its time to envelop you in its goodness. Opener 'Ships in the Distance' may sound like Primal Scream at their most baggy but this is soon put to rest as the guitars kick in.
'Satanic Surf Girls Love to Dance' follows with not only the best song title ever but a keen motorik beat to boot. It trundles along like a ramshackle train evoking images of surf boards from hell. This is the Beach Boys on a bad trip and its good.
The album does sag under the length of the tracks on offer with 'Noon on the Moon' just outstaying its welcome. This is alleviated by the excellent 'Baba Yaga' with its endless guitar solo. Reference points may very well be Floyd at Pompeii but there is also an intelligence here which demonstrates the talent behind this band.
Lengthy instrumentals may not be everybody's thing and it does mean you have to take time out to really listen but then that is what all great music demands. There is nothing groundbreaking here but it is well worth the adventure. Sit back and enjoy the trip, they don't make them quite like this anymore.\" Review by Martyn Coppack at Echoes and Dust (http://echoesanddust.com/2013/03/brujas-del-sol-moonliner/)
