“Tarot” is a satiating rocker with psych-friendly elements, from Atlanta-based five-piece Rujen. The psych-friendly sensibilities are especially apparent shortly after the two-minute turn, when a caressing bass line, spacey guitars, and twinkling keys exude a Jefferson Starship-esque enjoyment. The segment ends with a satisfying burst of guitars, escalating toward the swift vocal re-emergence. “Tarot” is a nice showing of Rujen’s engaging rock sound. The band, who first caught my ear with their debut EP Elsewhere last year, continues to impress.
