Pink Chameleons - Harmony (2025) Hi-Res

Hypnotic psychedelic rock goes sun-kissed dreamwave. Finnish garage-psych trio Pink Chameleons makes a welcome return. Let frontman Paltsa-Kai Salama explain what we can expect from their sophomore full-lengther: “Harmony leans more into psychedelia than our more punk inspired debut album, 2021’s Peace and Love. The overall sound of Harmony is dominated by mellotron, hypnotic tremolo and electric sitar along with repetitive bass riffs and percussion.” I would like to add that the animals, rain and death have made way for more sunny themes and a laid-back atmosphere, and that suits them well. Telling song titles like Wrong Future and Colors Seem to Fade immediately appeal to the imagination, the execution more than lives up to that. This is music to dream away to, unique in its atypical instrumentation that is used to optimum effect. Soothing but anything but boring.
