Their 2014 debut Beyond These Things already garnered euphoric reviews. Since then, several singles and EPs have been released on Fruits de Mer Records. \u003cem\u003eCosmic Comics\u003c\/em\u003e is the long-awaited second album, and it has fully justified the wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003eMarkku Helin, Arto Kakko, and Matti Laitinen regard the recording studio as their primary instrument and have built \u003cem\u003eCosmic Comics\u003c\/em\u003e with multi-layered arrangements that combine lovely, beautiful melodies with wicked, subversive lyrics. All in the sound of the psychedelic sixties, with Mellotron, fuzz guitars, and warm harmonies. The opener, This Quiet Smiling Man, an ode to Robert Oppenheimer, begins with a drone guitar riff and ends in a Doors-esque freakout. Maurice N'est Pas La is incessant cosmic disco psych funk. Iris Murray and One In Five are earworms of the more tender kind, the jazzy Salmiac leads into unfamiliar waters, and the concluding The Rip sounds like a venerable demo recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003eMastered by Eroc, a mark of quality that speaks for itself. \u003cem\u003eCosmic Comics\u003c\/em\u003e is a small psychedelic milestone from the far north.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLP on 180 gram mint green vinyl made in Germany and limited to 500 copies!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003ePermanent Clear Light are\u003cbr\u003eMarkku Helin – lead guitar, synth, percussion\u003cbr\u003eArto Kakko – drums, bass, guitar, keys, vocals\u003cbr\u003eMatti Laitinen – lead vocals, synth, percussion\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Permanent Clear Light","offers":[{"title":"180g solid green vinyl","offer_id":57033713910138,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/7814\/8730\/files\/PermanentClearLight-CosmicComics-Cover.jpg?v=1783364160","url":"https:\/\/sulatron.com\/en\/products\/cosmic-comics","provider":"Sulatron Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
