  • Bio

    Superclean superspeed: a relentless superclean vision of a relentless mean and lean superraw dreammachine, the DRUG ROCK MAGNET that shows you merciless MERCY and most of ALL, HUMBLENESS: fuckin' huge and you're no more than just a pity little piece of SHIT, but hey, you know what? .. It's ALLRIGHT to be no more than just a pity little piece of SHIT! .. The MOTORWOLF SADHU (crystal HIGH and sewer DEEP) brings you LUCID: The hague's new motorpunk trio; house of fuckin' SPACE, house of fuckin' SMOKE, house of fuckin' AWE! .. .. .. review on http://chybuccasounds.com/ .. Having cool influences is not always enough, you have to have your own voice too. Luckily for the Netherlands Lucid, the trio have managed to embrace the space rock and psychedelic fury of the 60’s without sounding like clones. Selwyn Slop (vocals and bass), Bart Schotman (guitar) and Maarten van Oers (drums) explore hard rock, metal and small doses of fuzz to develop their sound. ‘Black Eyed Woman’, the stand out track of this release, is a cauldron of down-tuned licks and Ozzy-esque vocals, backed up by equal amounts of fuzz and feedback. This could have easily been a sure fire hit in the drug-fuelled haze of groundbreaking 70’s rock. The solos are not bad either. ‘Shatter’ meanwhile, plays on Bold As Love-era Hendrix, while combining Fu Manchu’s love of no frills Californian laid back rock. On the other hand, ‘Godspeed’ is a fast tempo rocker where the trio use their instruments as projectile weapons that enhance their artillery. However, ‘Black Sheep’ is evidence of a band that is beginning to zone out to their own slow sci-fi jams. A fine set of tracks that cling onto mystic 70’s charm long enough to galvanise the trios sound.
