With Magick Songs, Jake and Jamin Orrall wander deeper into, and at times beyond, the psychedelic labyrinth they opened with Global Chakra Rhythms, while also exploring some of the poppier sensibilities of their early career. Both are fruitful trips. “Camel Swallowed Whole” is a hypnotic rock song that would have stood out on any of their most successful albums. “Locator” is a mesmerizing kosmische foray guided by the saxophone performance of GCR collaborator Reece Lazarus. And everything’s copacetic with album closer “Farewell to the Sun,” which finds JTB and co. simultaneously channeling far-out fantasies and the thunderous riff-rock of their foundation. As a wise uncle would often say, “heavy trippin’, easy rider.”
JEFF The Brotherhood’s “Camel Swallowed Whole” is from their LP ‘Magick Songs’ on Dine Alone Records
