Picture You

Swedish psych band the Amazing's new album is one of the rare rock records of recent vintage drawing discernible inspiration from Led Zeppelin. Picture You is elemental rock—earthy, molten, aquatic, but using each of their qualities to soothe rather than destroy.

Stockholm's bosses of the bittersweet return with a more complex, ambitious and ultimately triumphant reinvention.

The Amazing's last album was entitled Gentle Stream, and that title evokes the Swedish group's aural aesthetic reasonably well. Their sound is unhurried, detailed, and most of all, incredibly beautiful.
