The prime example of European psychedelic shoegaze music comes from the city of Tampere in Finland. Radio Supernova are back to the blog with their third album called Paratiisi and, as it's been two times already, it could hardly be more exciting and mesmerizing a trip.
The cult-like vibes are strong on this one: from the fittingly psychedelic band's photo, the cover art to the album's title that translates to "Paradise". And this whole entourage is a perfect wrapping for the band's music. While it's loud and the guitars easily create this shoegaze-like noisy atmosphere, it's more about embracing the psychedelic rock formula and taking it to the new levels. I love how Kata Riikonen's vocals are exactly between the ethereal kind of dreamy music and the juicy psychedelia: they are both energetic and oneiric which is certainly not an easy thing to achieve. Not to mention that the Finnish language sounds perfect here: it's moody exotic vibes fit right into the obscurity of the artists' music.
And the music itself is as colourful as the cover art is. That's the exact opposition to minimalist music: a lot is going on every second, even in those rare ballad-like fragments, it's hard to focus on one element of the music at once. Which is literally perfect for an album the track titles of which translate to things like "Eternal Midsummer" and "At the neon party".
