The Movements - For Sardines Space Is No Problem  

Review
Inspired by Christer Fuglesang life s the Astronaut from Sweden ,a journey from the beginning till the end , The Movements traveling us to an abstracts melodic space sounds even a kraut rock atmosphere! Differs from the previews albums The Movements drop the groovy riffs change the music style from retro garage and move to space kraut rock .The Swedes have tradition to garage punk but not only , here helped  by 6 extra musicians to recording  'For Sardines Space Is No Problem' overflows of melodies  tunes and samples that you might forget to like any heavy rock band for a while. 'A Birth Under The Northern Sky' is an intro track that starts with an organ quite relaxing and melodic end up with a cry baby sample , 'Mother Someday Im Gonna Be An Astronaut'  are more into psych space garage with the rhythm section leading the music and the guitars and other organs jamming , i don't now if the band have any influences of Meat Puppets middle period , also the vocals take secondary role in this record. 'In The Footsteps Of Gagarin' one of the song that stands out  here ,lead by a synthesizer organ escalating faster to the end ,'Trapped On Earth' the try to play a melancholic ballad adding and mixing some Swedish folk elements ,'Go Now My Friend (Out Into Space)' show us the garage pop vibe , the spot that The Movements see the music is different and interesting but sometimes is space soup ! ,escape more than we expect to experimental music style .
A big dose of melodies from the Space Movements  recommended for psych garage fans only , listen down 'In The Footsteps Of Gagarin' from this album and vote.
