• MaidaVale • (Sweden. Silver Dagger Records)
Hailing from various backgrounds both musically and geographically, Swedish psych wonders MaidaVale have captured audiences with their spirited energy ever since starting out on the Stockholm underground scene a decade ago. The band combine neo-psychedelia and krautrock with influences ranging from post-punk, funkadelia and the North African blues.
With acclaimed debut “Tales of the Wicked West” (2016), they quickly took on big European rock scenes and festivals. More kraut influenced sophomore album “Madness is too Pure” (2018) confirmed the band’s place in the psych rock scene with its bold and experimental take on the genre, nominating them for the Swedish music prize P3 Guld in the rock category alongside acts like Graveyard.
On their third album ‘Sun Dog’, working with producers Kalle Gustafsson Jerneholm (The Soundtrack of Our Lives) and György Barocsai, MaidaVale paint with a larger, bolder and brighter color palette, immersing themselves more than ever into their unique take on neo-psychedelia. The album has appearances from Tinariwen’s Said Ag Ayad and guest mixing from John Agnello (Kurt Vile, The Black Angels).
Among the band’s live performances, some notable highlights are Manchester Psych Fest, Burg Herzberg Festival, Rockpalast, Barcelona Psych Fest, Sweden Rock Festival, Bordeaux Psych Fest and Desetfest Berlin. MaidaVale has toured extensively with bands like Kikagaku Moyo, Goat and Earthless in Scandinavia and Europe.

• KARKARA • (France. Stolen Body Records)
Explosive power trio that furiously mixes garage / fuzz and middle eastern sounds, KARKARA is an unprecedented project that takes the gamble of glueing together the East and the West sound in a common goal: transcendence. Created in 2017 in Toulouse - France- under the idea of the guitarist and the bassist and inspired by the psychedelic rock scene of the Middle East and the Maghreb of the 60s and 70s, the band combines its traditional inspirations with a visceral taste for the shattering sounds of garage fuzz and contemporary krautrock.
Even going so far as to use their favourite atypical instrument - the didgeridoo - the three members of KARKARA, like desert wizards, take pleasure in pushing the boundaries of the genre further and take their audience into a mystical and indomitable world.
