Self release
Naxatras are a Greek psychedelic rock trio from Thessaloniki, formed in 2012 (originally as a quartet), known for their heavy, spacey jams infused with '70s rock influences and analog production .
Released in 2016, II arrived just a year after Naxatras’ acclaimed debut, once again embracing the live-to-tape analog recording method at Magnetic Fidelity, engineered by Jesus I. Agnew.
The album features six tracks, mostly instrumental, with the exception of the vocal-led “Sisters of the Sun.” It presents a darker and more atmospheric tone, exploring cosmic motifs and immersive sonic textures.
Rooted in the band’s natural chemistry, II unfolds as a seamless, cohesive journey—fusing warm analog tones, groove-heavy jams, and expressive instrumental work.
The album received strong acclaim, often described as a “relaxed, psychedelic stoner rock” gem—ideal for introspective or laid-back listening. The track “Proxima Centauri” stood out as a fan favorite and a highlight of the record.
Critics noted a sense of evolving maturity, praising the album’s more focused compositions, enhanced interplay among band members, and deeper sonic layering.
In short, Naxatras II builds on the strengths of their debut while adding greater depth and cohesion, offering a rich mix of space rock ambiance, live analog energy, and hypnotic instrumental flow. The album firmly established the band as a standout act in Europe’s psychedelic underground.
