Six tracks. Heavy riffs that feel like sandpaper and sunlight. Bentrees, a guitar-and-drums duo from Sardinia, take you on a slow crawl through desert-colored landscapes, somewhere between 70s hard rock grit and 90s stoner haze. Psych-tinged swirls float over tight rhythms, never too polite, never too polished. It’s introspective without being fragile, more like looking back at where you came from while pushing the pedals down toward somewhere unknown.
The record doesn’t announce itself with fireworks. It seeps in. One moment you’re grounded in riff-heavy stomp, next you’re drifting in echo and atmosphere. No frills, no big production tricks, just weight, space, and a subtle psych sheen. Bentrees are comfortable in the tension between roots and exploration; the album carries that duality like a vein running under the skin.
It’s not perfect. Some passages stretch a little too patiently, some riffs linger longer than necessary. But that’s part of the charm. Solid, hypnotic, and unmistakably their own!
