Wayfarer is an album by Finnish stoner rock group Void Cruiser, released on February 27. Almost forty six minutes long, the record has seven tracks: A Day On Which No Man Was Born, I Didn't Lie But I Know Now That I Should Have, As We Speak, Madonnas And Whores, Seven Years Late, All Over Nowhere and Maailman Kallein Kaupunki. A very beautiful, melodic and methodic stoner album, Wayfarer has captivating harmonies and very intense rhythms, with almost ethereal and dense vocals, upon which all musical elements are suspended, with the aim to promote a full convergence between classical components of vintage rock, and the amazingly personal, serene and sincere singular style of the group.
With a surprising style, that departs from the common elements of the genre, Wayfarer is an album that has slow, but very abrasive and intrusive melodies, sagacious, but unscrupulous exonerating rhythms, and very distinct patterns, that subtlety isolates the more metaphysical aspects of their music, to elaborately create with them very protuberating and precious tonalities of sound, which gives to their music amazingly colorful and intense peculiarities.
Despite following in several aspects the more traditional wave of the genre, Void Cruiser reveals itself all the way through as a very audacious and creative band. Marvelously introducing into their music a splendidly vivacious impulse, that energizes their sound with a very cosmic sincerity, Wayfarer, although has several longer tracks, has so much life on the monumental axis of its formidable notes, that you feel marvelously captivated while listening to this great and astonishing record.
Although you feel inevitably bored at the height of some glorious moments – eventually you fall under the impression that several musical passages, indeed, present little rhythmic variations – the record doesn’t lose its power and intrinsic majesty. With a very genuine understanding of the genre, and the fabulous development of a singular style, Void Cruiser has presented to us on their most recent album, Wayfarer, a very lucid, exponential, phenomenal and outstanding album. With an exceptional musicality, that evidently has infused the best traditional elements of wild acid rock with the most wonderfully progressive contemporaneous precepts of the genre, Void Cruiser displays a magnificent style, that has evolved and matured to be fully autonomous, and certainly deserves to be considered and recognized as one of the leading acts of their genre, in their home country.
