Review
This band standing away from the mainstream dirtiness's mania with out of any attitude to impress with distortions and sound effects - Been Obscene confuse us about their musical genre. 'Night o’ Mine' released by Elektrohasch Records a guarantee first class independent record label specialized in heavy psych ,progressive and stoner rock their albums are almost top rated in online or printed magazines so note that record.
'Endless Scheme' opening with a cool slow desert psychedelic pop riff in the vein of Sgt Sunshine and Motorpsycho middle period , the sound are so clear a well produced , they extend the tracks in duration in most tracks with out being boring .Snake Charmer' going more into late 60 's psychedelic Californian bands influences surprise us with the middle riff heaviness ,'Cut The Rope' is more of radio hit small track ,here the singer does more good performance and leading the rhythm .S/T track do not impress me except the euphemism riff .'The Run' stand out maybe more interesting track for me changing from melancholic pop to more heaviest parts .'Memories In Salvation' can not be more influence from Motorpsycho here ! goes for me indifferent  , fortunately 'Alone' ending the record successful adding the own style of dark psych atmosphere.
Sometimes the album blow up from melodies but lacking some edginess , however they have some intent riffs at the ending of the most songs , if you ask to describe them musically is somewhere between Kyuss on the stoner rock side and Big Elf on the progressive rock side without any metal elements (headbaggers keep away from here !) The band have a good chemistry - probably take action in writing all members .'Night o’Mine' in my opinion is a stunning 'dark stoner' album if give them time in you Cd player if you hurry up you lost you meaning for sure.
If you have any doubt about that  .. go down listen and vote them ;
