Laserdrift Release Self-Titled Debut April 29

Clearly, Tampere, Finland-based heavy rockers Laserdrift wanted the circumstances to be just right before they did an official launch for their self-titled debut album. Probably in much the same way they wanted to rolling pace of the organ and harmonica-inclusive jam on centerpiece “Cream ‘n’ a Shake” to be just right. Fair enough. It’s been three years since the outing was recorded, and after a digital self-release late last year, Laserdrift‘s Laserdrift is set to surface April 29 through Pink Tank Records as a limited-to-500-copies vinyl, CD and download.

The five-piece play back and forth from dense fuzz rock and airier heavy psychedelic influences, but rather than contrast one and the other, they smoothly transition between them, taking some bluesy cues on cuts like “Don’t Put Your I Out” and going for a full-on wah-soaked classic vibe on “Woman,” shifting between one side or another of their sound as they go. It’s a fluid album of fluid, heavy grooves, and as Laserdrift are now three years removed from its making, it makes me wonder how they might have continued to develop since. Guess we’ll see after the self-titled gets released.

The Laserdrift’s journey through the sonic wastelands began sometime in 2011 when Jere and Jupe got together with Lede and started to jam downtuned and groovy riffs. The ?rst jams were more downtempo, low and fuzzy drifting but soon the overall tempo got higher and tunes got more rocking and rad. Quite soon along the way Sami joined in as a singer and a second guitarist and the soundscape became more melodic and the songs got more structured.

The songs on the ?rst LP are from this era and in the recording process Jupe and Sami introduced Anssi who recorded the tunes. He also did keyboards to the songs and soon joined the band as an of?cial member. Now, the sound of Laserdrift is best described as not-so-sophisticated blend of rad and raunchy riffs, over the top fuzz, delay-drenched guitars, mind-wobbling keyboards, otherworldly beating bass and relentlessly pounding drums accompanied by vocals that are both tempting and on the edge. The stunning Laserdrift debut will be released on vinyl on CD and digital 29. April 2016.
