  • Description

    Time stumbles on. So does the clan DATSUN. Change the inevitable. Despite the ever warping landscape, the DATSUNS find those paths of least resistance up the mountain, and take their lifetime's accumulated lessons & mastery of rock, up the proverbial giant rock, to dispel their latest riffage & learnings, from the highest point, upon the masses, with joyous savagery.\u202F

    The workings towards an eighth volume of Datsun sonics have been marinated upon, wrangled thru, laid down & paid out. It sees the light of day in this year 2026. Though the clan have lost another drummer, Scandinavian thumper Adam Lindmark of Dead Lord fills the drum throne. A host of Swedish drumming familiars also litter recordings, to deliver the Stoogeoid evil, the powerpop crunch or the classic proto rawk assault & battery.

    Lead string wrangler Christian, comes to grips with the literal new hand he's been dealt, after a literal handicapped year, whereupon next level surgical intervention was required to save a paw ravaged.

    Entrenched in the semi-rural NZ paradise, Phil has wracked mind & mitts to conjure up new weaving guitarring rhythms to dispense to his comrades across the seas.

    In the lands of ice & snow Dolf has soundboarded hooks & crunch w/his like minded Scandinavian pals & also shot back many a reshaped idea & burst of rok energy to his Datsun brothers.\u202F

    The end result, a new & eighth album. The promise delivered of more running, riffing, dancing rock, in the Western calendar year of 2026, both studio wrecked & wrangled.

    Thus finally begins the reveal of these doings & dealings from Datsun times tethered & spent cajoling new searing & soaring tunes. From this upcoming album cache. The first slab of such be "Moonstruck Man". More classic 1970s ramble-age, pedal effects pushing Wah & electric scorch. It's reminiscent of Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore & Mountain's Leslie West. The high tenored vox & busy rhythms hark back to classic Rush. There's glam weird & whimsy a la Sparks & Marc Bolan. Tis a tune bedazzled & besotted. Stitched together in Swedish recording joints & haunts, Studio Grondahl, Gold Halo, Kiki's Castle, Livingstone Boudoirs & Riddarborgen.
