During the past few years Albatross, from Gothenburg, have made themselves a name by backing musicians from some of Sweden’s most successful bands. With the release of the EP ”Disco Blues” they showed that they could at least do as good on their own. A year ago, in the summer of 2013, they moved out into the woods to record their debut album, Groovers’ Maneuvers, using tape machines and all analog equipment. Albatross is a band who really loves playing live, so it was a matter of course to record all instruments at once to best capture the feeling of a live show on tape. Catchy choruses and hypnotic vocals mixed with wobbly organs, huge echoes and extended jams makes this nine song record a psychedelic trip.
