The Golden Undertow opens with the gaunt “Dead Star”, a short and intense song with just few guitar notes and his voice. Both when singing accompaining himself with sparse guitar notes (“A Forest Journey”, “My Ship”, “Five”) or creating gentle psichedelic epicness with the effort of friends on violin, drums and other instruments (”Bonobo”, “Drugtime Family”) Rella prove to have learned the lesson well with an inspired album that speaks the language of blues and psichedelic folk. All the suggestions contained in his previous works are now mature for a full flavoured experience, including perfumed flute solos and hymns to a Black Universe.
