Dragontears is a side project of the rock based group BABY WOODROSE from Denmark. A recording only band headed by guitarist Lorenzo Woodrose which is quite far away from the usual
heavy rock style here. Enlarged by members of the band ON TRIAL they recorded their debut during one week between Christmas and New Years Eve in 2005 at the Black Tornado studio in Copenhagen. This album named '2000 Micrograms From Home' was offered in 2007 by Bad Afro Records and was originally concipated as a vinyl release only. Six cuts are included deriving from improvised jam sessions deep in hallucinatory psychedelia.
One year later they followed this path with the second release 'Tambourine Freak Machine'. Once again
you will detect all the ingredients what the genre is able to present - trippy spacey songs with hypnotic parts, a lot of electronica and experimental elements. DRAGONTEARS is a recommended project for fans of the genre which shows a retro as well as a modern approach.
01. DRAGONTEARS - 2000 MICROGRAMS FROM HOME 2007
"2000 Microgramms From Home" marks the debut of Lorenzo Woodrose's DRAGONTEARS project. Originally playing stoner rock in the band BABY WOODROSE the musicians are turning deep into the psych/space territory here. Heavy rocking elements are taking a backseat and instead of that we have tons
of echo guitar and vocals, dreamy spaced out sounds presented in a hypnotic mood. I started to listen to the band with the follower 'Tambourine Freak Machine' first and it totally convinced me and therefore was praised with five stars. Surely a heavy load for this debut album which contains six songs representing a vinyl length of nearly 40 minutes. This is a very good listenable album for fans of psychedelic and spacey trips. Unfortunately DRAGONTEARS is a studio project what I know and the chance to enjoy this music live on a stage is very very small - but never say never ...

02. DRAGONTEARS - TAMBOURINE FREAK MACHINE 2008
.jpg)
DRAGONTEARS is a side project of the stoner rock band BABY WOODROSE where guitarist Lorenzo Woodrose can be treated as the mastermind. They are additionally supported by some members of another danish band called ON TRIAL. First of all - don't expect much heavy psych/space rock in the vein of
HAWKWIND or 35007. 'The concept is letting songs evolve freely in the sonic playground' they write on the myspace site. That's the case - and this is prepared in a more hallucinatory transcendental way which lets you questioning the musician's stoner rock origin in any case. The album sounds like recorded on bloc and is pointing to the former hippiesque 60/70s times a lot. But on the other hand this is not retro exclusively because they also use several innovative electronic ingredients. 'Tambourine Freak Machine' is recommended with a relaxed spacey base and nice melodies as well as portions of weirdness which makes this also interesting for krautrock fans. A special mix which is hardly comparable ...

03. DRAGONTEARS - TURN ON TUNE IN FUCK OFF!!
.jpg)
Danish Dragontears released their third album at the beginning of this month. Although I really enjoy also the two previous albums (2000 Micrograms from Home, 2007 and Tambourine Freak Machine, 2008), this
%20-%20Photo%201.jpg)
brand new one is possibly the best. So it's downright sad that Turn on Tune in Fuck off!! is at the same time also the last Dragontears album. The band's main figure, Baby Woodrose's Lorenzo Woodrose has decided that from now on he will incorporate also his weirdest and most psychedelic ideas into the albums of the main band. Well, it's of course a good thing considering the future Baby Woodrose albums! And these former and present members of On Trial and Baby Woodrose surely have several other projects as well.
