Energized with new vocalist Tomi Joutsen, the psychedelic hipsters just evolve and endure: the clear vocals, naturally melancholic/whiny, contrast well with the growls used sporadically. This is a) stoner rock for metallers, b) classic rock-influenced metal, c) 70s-organ/keyboards-drenched flowery bluesy rock metal or d) all of the above. Things are back on track, despite the singer change. The guitar sound is recognizably theirs and the old rock/organ/70s feeling is pretty unique in their craft.
