The Carpet Knights are a band I recently discovered (thanks to Maria) and I found them really interesting. Coming from Sweden and formed in 1998, they released their debut in 2002 (which I haven't heard yet). "According to Life" is their second album, released by the usual suspects of Transubstans Records. Overall is a very interesting and strong release based on a successful mix of progressive and folk rock (Jethro Tull's legacy is present everywhere) with a very light version of stoner rock grooves and some psychedelic slabs (especially in album's second half), plus the vintage feeling that Swedes tend to use in their music. The link between The Carpet Knights and Öresund Space Collective are obvious from the beginning 'til the end (some of TCK's members are in OSP too). One hour of good soulful music...
This band is one of my new favorites. Sweden rarely disappoints in the realm of heavy music. I bought this album and love it.
