You can practically picture the sunlight twinkling off a pool of water from the first notes, something that’s immediately evocative of the isolated cabin on an island where the whole album was recorded.

Bubbling refrains and reverberating vocals swim through a haze of pounding rhythms and spaced out psychadelia. It’s a vast tapestry, and one that’s all too easy to get lost in. Progressing with a rippling intensity, “People” clings to your contours with a euphoria that’s entirely addictive.

Timmerdalen” is also the name of This is Head’s new single, a nearly seven-minute mellow kraut groover pulled along by a buoyant analog synth lead.

Delving into psych and head-turning pop with devilish intent, This Is Head are an exciting proposition.

The intro’s first few seconds feel a bit like you’re getting into a weird cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes” before Henric Claesson’s guitar throws your face in a dimension ruled by The Cure or Echo & The Bunnymen. Björn Wiking’s haunting voice is less easy to put in a box. It sounds like he could sing rock anthems but would freak out if he had to play in a stadium, like the Manchester gurus of WU LYF, in a more understandable way.
