Background information über 'Childhood´s End'

What happens when Norwegian avant-garde masters Ulver decide to pay homage to the psychedelic pioneers of the '60s? You get "Childhood's End", a mesmerizing journey through some of the most influential tracks from the golden age of psychedelia. This isn't just another covers album - it's a complete reimagining of classics from legendary acts like The Byrds, Electric Prunes, 13th Floor Elevators, and Gandalf. Ulver brings their signature atmospheric touch to gems like "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night" and "Everybody's Been Burned", transforming these vintage cuts into something entirely their own while maintaining the ethereal spirit of the originals.

The album flows like a fever dream, with each track seamlessly blending into the next creating an immersive sonic landscape that feels both nostalgic and futuristic. Kristoffer Rygg and company have stripped away some of the rawer edges of the source material, replacing them with lush arrangements and their trademark ambient sensibilities. Tracks like "Magic Hollow" and "Velvet Sunsets" showcase the band's ability to honor the past while pushing these songs into uncharted territory. It's fascinating to hear how Ulver interprets the psychedelic movement through their own experimental lens, creating something that's respectful yet completely transformative.

For fans of: Coil, Dead Can Dance, Current 93, and David Bowie
