Pangaea (Album 2025)

Birds Of Nazca

Heavy Instrumental Stoner Doom Psych Rock

Beginning of October, and it feels like spring for music releases: Yunger, binary_boy and The Helmut Bergers shake up the Austrian scene, while Vøvk and another French outfit let the heavy Stoner roll over Europe. 

With their name routed in Latin America, Birds Of Nazca from France are back with the successor of their self-titled album (2020) and „Héliolite“ (2023). Giving it the title „Pangaea“, they pick up the history of earth and orchestrate it with primary riffs. A vision of a formerly united planet, where the duo travels from place to place with each track, recorded at Studio du Faune by Alexis Bouvier, Basilic Music. 

The album cover is part of this vision by the band, that shared the stage with likes of Orange Goblin and will share with Mars Red Sky and Belzebong. A globe rotates in a desert with saguaros and the constellations are visible in the dark sky. The raw opener of the album echoes across the wasteland with Psychedelic energy, similar to acts like Colour Haze or Baron Crâne. 

For „Gang Rinpoché“ and „Racetrack Playa“, Birds Of Nazca published videoclips, visualizing the Fuzz, overdrive and Sabbath vibes, growing high. The earth is shaking, still rotating under the marvelous Groove of „Man Pupu Nyor“, the Seven Strong Men Rock Formations in the Ural Mountains. 

While the soundscapes spread like Mila Cloud, „Everything is Good“ like for Prehistoric Pigs or Earthset. Yet the final quake is right about to happen, forming the oceans as we know the world today. It feels clear that Our Survival Depends On Us. 

And it was not the end but another beginning: The water floats, the wind blows, and birds are chirping for the closing of the chapter of „Pangaea“ – and a new spring for Birds Of Nazca in autumn, ‚loud, shamanic, organic‘.
