Not often enough do we see a name rise to the occasion and manage to continuously improve, expand, and deepen its knowledge to such a degree that feels invigorating and fascinating to a point that one cannot help but investigate. There are plenty of names throughout the growing realm of heavy psychedelia that qualify as such, but not nearly enough manage to stay consistent after a promising rise. Despite not being around for long, Spirit Mother is poised to accomplish such a feat.

After a promising debut that gave the band loads of warranted attention, Spirit Mother has become a name that many have been well to keep a sharp eye on with their particularly engaging brand of heavy psychedelic rock something that damn near every fan of the genre should be aware of in some capacity or another. Practically every single thing that Spirit Mother sought to bring to the table in the past has come to great fruition and loads of excellence within every given inch of the ten tracks of “Trails”. An absolute deluge of psychedelia and riffage the likes of which people are always clamoring for, it’s through a tremendous navigation of heaviness and an ethereal nature that allows the record to set itself firmly amongst its peer while always ensuring that Spirit Mother shines brighter than many others. A potent concoction aged by the long miles on the road and energized by nights on stage that all come together for a bombastic yet consistently evocative performance that allows “Trails” to become deeply layered and something of a euphoric journey that one simply cannot easily turn away from. Overflowing with more than enough tenacity and power to deliver in every capacity, Spirit Mother’s latest is a listen that can be considered essential for any who want to know only the finest in heavy psychedelia.

Where many others may fall off in some form or another after a flavorful debut, Spirit Mother has seized the opportunity to further their sound in practically every aspect with the very whole of “Trails” a work that demands several listens in order to truly appreciate and become one with. Immensely flavorful from top to bottom and a damn good time to boot, Spirit Mother’s name continues to rise.
