This year’s Oczy Mlody album was a ‘dream-laden odyssey that frequently resembles a good and bad psychedelic experience‘ according to Live4ever, and these virtues are there for all to see on the new, 10-minute video for Almost Home (Blisko Domu).
“The duality takes some getting used to – as did the other things in their arsenal of playfulness from the past – but as with closer We a Family, it shoulder-shrugs the responsibility for getting along with it back on the listener,” the review continues.
“The song itself is a duet with Miley Cyrus, of whom Coyne’s avuncular relationship has raised the odd eyebrow, but outside of that shell is a lucid, naive r&b vibe which the young protege coats with sugar and that the cosmic programming turns into a post modern nursery rhyme.”
The promo was directed by frontman Wayne Coyne.
