From the folks at Transubstans Records/Record Heaven comes the Swedish instrumental band called Salma Gandhi. Not content to swim in the retro hard rock, metal, and doom waters that so many other acts from Sweden seem to be doing these days, the oddly named Salma Gandhi instead have created quirky intrumental pieces that touch on jazz, pop, prog, blues, punk, and stoner elements.
Many of the tracks here are fun to listen to, and have a unique sound, especially “Mulholland Mustard In The Custard”, “Paranoid Cow On A Mushroom Lawn” (love these songs titles!), and the epic post-rock/psychedelia of “Santa Da Luna Pa Ruskie”. The dark & spooky “Dr. Steveroll I Presume” has a spacey, jazzy, psychedelic feel to it that is quite appealing, but you are almost left waiting for the band to really break out with something earthshattering, which they rarely do.
