Goblyns - Who Do You Fight?

 With “Who Do You Fight?”, GOBLYNS further confirms its growing reputation as one of the most interesting names on the contemporary psychedelic rock scene. The trio continues to explore a sound rooted in the spirit of the seventies, blending psychedelic rock with generous doses of funk, blues and krautrock. Fuzzy guitars, warm bass lines and wonderfully vintage keyboards provide the foundations for an album that feels effortlessly groovy without ever sacrificing musical depth. There is a natural, laid-back quality to these nine tracks, yet beneath their relaxed atmosphere lies a real sense of musical craftsmanship.

Throughout the record, GOBLYNS skilfully moves between different moods and textures. Tracks such as “Before I Break”, “Ring Your Bell” and “Bugs” introduce a stronger melodic and vocal dimension, adding a new dynamic to the band's instrumental explorations. Elsewhere, “Lagoon”, “Sienna's Song” and “Naki Putzi” demonstrate the trio's ability to create immersive sonic landscapes, where hypnotic rhythms, subtle arrangements and psychedelic excursions unfold with remarkable fluidity. Rather than relying on unnecessary virtuosity, GOBLYNS lets the music breathe, allowing each composition to develop at its own pace.

With “Who Do You Fight?”, GOBLYNS takes another confident step forward, refining its musical identity while opening up new creative possibilities. More accessible without becoming predictable, and more varied without losing its distinctive character, the album strikes an appealing balance between instrumental sophistication and immediate enjoyment. Its warm grooves, infectious melodies and beautifully crafted psychedelic atmospheres make it a particularly rewarding listen. A fine record for anyone drawn to adventurous rock, vintage sounds and irresistible grooves.
