The Sciences вЂ“ Sleep Released 20th April by Third Man Records Rather than possessing a distinct narrative, Awooga generate a satisfyingly dense atmosphere to inhabit that is both thrilling and introspective.Дў. The eleven minute track is then underlined by the mystic closing number, Otherside. Witness, my favourite track, displays a more subtle side as effortless jams gradually soar toward an uplifting crescendo before drifting back to earth. Each of us, and humanity at large, trapped in cycles of behaviour as time marches ever onward.

The opening track Temporal sets the stage with titanic riffs and totalitarian undertones, addressing how nothing lasts, and yet history repeats itself 'over and over'. Though Awooga don't follow their footsteps too closely, differentiating themselves by gravitating toward the heavier and more relentless end of the spectrum, adopting aspects of doom and sludge. Having toured with Amplifier and signed onto their label, you can tell theyвЂ™ve drawn inspiration from their space rock approach with its numerous effects pedals and philosophical lyrics. It sounds pretentious, but the band do comfortably create that space. Conduit вЂ“ Awooga Released 20th April by RockosmosДЄccording to vocalist Tam Ali, Conduit refers to the flow of energy between brain and mind where both brutality and tranquillity reside. Each one is brilliant in its own way, so I hope you enjoy having a browse, and that you discover something new to add to your tune pool. We've got hard rock, prog rock, stoner rock (a lot of rock to be honest), electronica, soul, hip-hop, as well as some folk.

These are my personal favourite albums from 2018, listed in chronological order from oldest to most recent.
