Farflung

Long-toiling psychedelic warriors Farflung channel the riffs, vectoring basslines and vocal stylings of their heroes Hawkwind with this 2008 release. Wound in Eternity is Farflung's sixth album, and while the band's well-known affinity for Future Days-era Can (they even covered the title track once) bubbles up here and there in moments of stoner-y calm, it's the harrowing warp speeds meant to jangle your nerves that matter. "Like It Has Never Been" is just one of several songs on here that win by distilling psychedelic rock, hurtling space metal and a soul-satisfyingly catchy chorus.
