From The Balkans To The Himalaya
Bicycles can be metaphoric for myriads of ideas, thoughts, or things. You may think of progress, climate-neutral movement, velocity, leisure, or, of course Albert Hofmann. Whether there is a direct connection between hallucinogenic substances and Serbian band The Cyclist Conspiracy shall not be discussed here. Nevertheless, if the nine-track album Back To Hermetics And Martial Arts Vol. 1 coincidentally appears at the same place and time as an LSD trip, this might as well be a good match. Let us thus embrace this sonic trip from the roof of the world to the white city and back.
Nine Loose Tales
Back To Hermetics And Martial Arts Vol. 1 is a collection of nine tales. Each of the stories are located in a zero-gravity void between life, fiction, hallucination, and fantasy. With instruments from their South East European home, the band from Serbia undertakes musical exploration towards the cultural diversity of South Asia and the monumental pictures of the spaghetti western genre. These nine psychedelic tracks create a colourful bridge between the listeners’ synapses, a vintage canvas, and liquid music to take a deep dive in.
Transforming And Re-Arranging
The Cyclist Conspiracy invite their audience to a sphere far away from time, space, or meaning. Here, where concepts melt and ideas are being born, transformation is omnipresent. From here on, Back To Hermetics And Martial Arts Vol. 1 lets the listeners re-discover their world and re-arrange common concepts and truths. You can indeed compare this album to a successful LSD trip.
