Formidable solo debut of the British musician established in Granada, Darren Joseph Anderson (ex Sunset Riders). 'Songs For Mystic Lovers' (Lucinda Records, 2022) is a lysergic journey full of mysticism through 60's Pop and Psychedelia with the vocal magnetism of Syd Barret, Ray Davies and Iggy Pop. Together with Darren (voice and guitars) they participate on the recording Javier Cantudo (drums), Javi Rodríguez (bass) and Antonio Ávila (keyboards). In his return to the front line of fire, the Briton has put all his skills at the service of the song, without discriminating whether it takes the form of a dark blues or a folk ballad, of acoustic preciosity or a potential pop single, giving shape to a work complex and beautiful, so timeless that it smells like a league classic.
