Jesus The Snake - Black Acid, Pink Rain (New Full Album) For those feeling adventurous, Portugal’s Jesus the Snake follow-up their 2017 self-titled EP with the unmitigated warmth of Black Acid, Pink Rain, their live-recorded full-length debut. Not one piece of the five total on the 49-minute offering is under eight minutes long, and sandwiched between opener “Karma” and the closing title-track are three cuts circa nine that prove no less hypnotic. The beginning of “Floyds I” is so fluid with the interplay of organ and guitar that one almost expects a gentle Portuguese spoken word verse to start, but of course one never does. Instead, Jesus the Snake complement mindful drift with flashes of more weighted or active fare, all the while holding to a central vibe that is peaceful even as “Duna” finds its chill before the halfway point, with no loss of spirit in the process.
An evolutionary, creative and marvelous pilgrimage through the deserts of the mind, with barefoot to wavy, silken and amorous dunes, petrified and beheld by the setting sun, and head buried in the dense and intoxicating astral nebulosity. Dwell in the dazzling mysticism that halos the entire temporal body of this album and feel yourself slumbering in a pleasant stage of inertia that will lead you to the longed for reign of the spiritual trance.
