Pirkan are a band from Hungary that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a mixture of drone, folk, psychedelic, experimental and world music and this is a review of their 2022 album "Holy Amnesis" which will be released on September 16th by Sun & Moon Records.
Whispers and drones start off the album while folk instruments are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording. At times the music also gets very experimental sounding along with some percussion also being utilized at times and the folk instruments also add in some ethnic and world music touches.
Most of the tracks are also instrumentals while some of the songs are also very long and epic in length. At times the music also goes into more of a psychedelic direction along with some synths and programmed also being added into certain sections of the recording as well as one song also adding in a brief use of clear vocals and each track also sounds very different from each other, throat singing can also be heard briefly.
On this recording Pirkan takes drone, folk, psychedelic, experimental and world music and mixes them together to create a very diverse recording. The production sounds very dark while t he ylrics are written in Hungarian and cover shamanism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Pirkan and if you are a fan of drone, folk, psychedelic, experimental and world music, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "An Offering" and "Light Resonance". 8 out of 10.
