Thymeshift - Layers Of In Between (2024) [Hi-Res]

Since the start in 2010, Swedish musicians Johan Björklund (drums), Thomas Gunillasson (guitar) and Thomas Backman (saxophone) have been forming an expression of their own. As a trio, but also together with Icelandic guitarist Hilmar Jensson och Danish sound artist Katrine Amsler the group has created some powerful, responsive music, always with an adventurous feel. With Jensson, the group released “Beyond Horizons” in 2015 and in 2021 “Dark Lights” was released with Amsler in the band. Now, with keyboardist John Lönnmyr, the group steps into an electro-analog, beat based future with reminiscences of the past. "Layers of in Between" features fourteen tracks with strong ties to heavy, riff-based rock, drawing inspiration from early 70's bands like Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. This raw style creates elaborate contrasts when combined with the band's more melodic, lyrical, and electronically tinged material. Thymeshift leaves a mark with their massive heaviness, often intense and sometimes stripped-down improvisations, as well as intricate soundscapes. ”Layers of in Between” is a modern, powerful production with clear historical retrospectives.
