Drawing inspiration from the late 60s and early 70s, Mojo & The Kitchen Brothers sound exudes a captivating mix reminiscent of iconic bands such as Black Sabbath, Wishbone Ash, and Pink Floyd. However, their music is far more than a nostalgic trip; it is a captivating bridge between the past and the present, firmly rooted in the contemporary psych rock scene.
The band’s initial EP Flaming Tiger Lizard was released digitally just one year after their formation, and it vividly displayed the band’s creativity and open-minded approach to music.
The titular track of the EP seamlessly fuses four different parts, taking listeners on a groovy, bass-heavy journey that morphs into funky desert blues, proggy and psychedelic jazz-rock interludes, and finally culminating in a sweet stoner jam. The dream-like continuity and psyched-out driving force make this 15-minute piece a multi-coloured journey through soundscapes.
The debut full-length album, Mojo’s Heavy Cream, is a fascinating collection of all-original tracks that not only pay homage to their major influences but also showcase the band’s evolution and unique musical voice. While Mojo’s Heavy Cream reflects a degree of maturity in their sound and vision, it signifies a new beginning rather than an end.
The band’s insatiable desire for musical exploration leaves the door wide open for future projects. With childlike enthusiasm, unwavering freedom, and a free-associative approach, you can expect more groundbreaking music from Mojo & The Kitchen Brothers in the near future.
