Some albums remind you of a particular place, or, a particular point in time. Others remind you of a journey, of many places, of times that were indefinite, unpredictable and impulsive.
Innaway’s self-titled album is well and truly the latter. It’s a journey through prog-rock, Pink Floyd-esque psychadelia, Air-like electronica and dirty blues. It’s a vast sound-scape, or perhaps more appropriately, a sound-escape. It’s an album that invites you in and combines nostalgic melodies with loaded lyrics, allowing you to move freely through the forgotten recesses of both your mind and record collection.
Innaway’s debut, while articulate and sophisticated, evokes the essence of unconventional times when mushrooms were magic, and when more than just your shoes were laced. Shine on you crazy diamond.
