So does the clan DATSUN. Change the inevitable. Despite the ever warping landscape,
the DATSUNS find those paths of least resistance up the mountain, and take their
lifetime's accumulated lessons & mastery of rock, up the proverbial giant rock, to
dispel their latest riffage & learnings, from the highest point, upon the masses, with
joyous savagery.\u202F
The workings towards an eighth volume of Datsun sonics have been marinated upon,
wrangled thru, laid down & paid out. It sees the light of day in this year 2026. Though
the clan have lost another drummer, Scandinavian thumper Adam Lindmark of Dead
Lord fills the drum throne. A host of Swedish drumming familiars also litter
recordings, to deliver the Stoogeoid evil, the powerpop crunch or the classic proto
rawk assault & battery.
Lead string wrangler Christian, comes to grips with the literal new hand he's been
dealt, after a literal handicapped year, whereupon next level surgical intervention was
required to save a paw ravaged.
Entrenched in the semi-rural NZ paradise, Phil has wracked mind & mitts to conjure up
new weaving guitarring rhythms to dispense to his comrades across the seas.
In the lands of ice & snow Dolf has soundboarded hooks & crunch w/his like minded
Scandinavian pals & also shot back many a reshaped idea & burst of rok energy to his
Datsun brothers.\u202F
The end result, a new & eighth album. The promise delivered of more running, riffing,
dancing rock, in the Western calendar year of 2026, both studio wrecked & wrangled.
Thus finally begins the reveal of these doings & dealings from Datsun times tethered
& spent cajoling new searing & soaring tunes. From this upcoming album cache. The
first slab of such be "Moonstruck Man". More classic 1970s ramble-age, pedal effects
pushing Wah & electric scorch. It's reminiscent of Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore &
Mountain's Leslie West. The high tenored vox & busy rhythms hark back to classic
Rush. There's glam weird & whimsy a la Sparks & Marc Bolan. Tis a tune bedazzled &
besotted. Stitched together in Swedish recording joints & haunts, Studio Grondahl,
Gold Halo, Kiki's Castle, Livingstone Boudoirs & Riddarborgen.
