They release their third studio album, “No Rhyme No Reason
on 27th January on record label Membran.
The trio of Yves Krismer (vocals,guitar), Benedikt
Trenkwalder (bass) and Jan Haussels (drums) have been described as a mixtu re of
Psychedelic, Progressive, Indie and blues rock and hve been likened to bands
such as Mars Volta, Jane’s Addiction and Led Zeppelin.
That last comparison may just be a step far but they have
played in Belfast (review here) and across the UK in support of Pentagram.
At the time of writing the bands first single “The Killer”
is available to view on YouTube (see below) and is a medium to fast paced hard rock song
with a fairly dark lyrical theme.
This theme continues throughout most of the album but “The
Killer” is about as hard rock as it gets.
The majority of the album concentrates heavily on the
Psychedelic, Prog. Rock Indie influence with lots of changes in style and tempo
throughout. The also make pretty good use of layered vocals.
Songs such as album opener “No Rhyme or Reason”, “The
Killer” and “ The Sun” would be more in the Blues/Hard Rock/Indie style in structure
while songs such as “H8”, ”The Enemy” and “Streetja Man” are most definitely
Psychedelic and Progressive in nature, in particular “Streetja Man” which
weighs in at a touch under 10 minutes the last 6 or so being instrumental and
sounding a bit like something early Pink Floyd may have come up with until
about the 7.30 mark where there is bit of a jazz funk section before finishing
in Psychedelic mode again.
The rest of the album varies in style with songs such as
“Now or Never” having a bit of a stoner vibe and “Big Girls” having a bit
groove to it whilst keeping the Prog nature and sound intact.
This would be an album that fans of this style of music
should quite enjoy and it is very well produced.
