Two years on from the release of their remarkable debut album, New Moon,rnAlmunia return with a second full-length of chugging psychedelic dub disco,rnshimmering acoustic grooves and spine-tingling Italian Balearica.rnDecidedly less heady than its predecessor, Pulsar impresses with its glisteningrnguitars, touchy-feely textures, ocean-blue chords and otherworldly atmospherics.rnAlong the way, there are tracks that variously sound like Cos/Mes jammingrnwith Pet Metheny (‘The Magician’), the Idjuts locking horns with Mudd (‘OdernTo Mum’), classic Scandolearica (the Lindstrom & Prins Thomas-ish ‘Pulsar’),rnPeter Green on valium (‘Views From A Blue Train’) and a lost Fleetwood Macrntrack (‘Secret Marriage’).rnAll set on a beautiful thick card gatefold LP featuring brilliant new artwork byrnMark Warrington this is an essential summer album.
