Smote is a psych-rock project of multi-instrumentalist Daniel Foggin, out of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. I came across his "Drommon" LP a few weeks back while browsing records at Rough Trade East, and man what a glorious ride it is. Psychedelic, almost ritual odyssey with folk undertones, that instantly made me think of early Haxan Cloak vs Hawkwind combo, 100% up my alley. The vinyl edition of the album, put together by Rocket Recordings, consists of two 15-min long tracks that were originally released on tape via Base Materialism in April, and two bonus cuts squeezed in between (you can check out the video for one of them, "Hauberk", below).
"Drommon" can be still ordered directly from the label here, and streamed in full below.
