Glasfrosch - Aubades (2013)

The second album from this band from Australia.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, piano, organ, keyboards, synths, tabla, programming, electronic and vocals.

I was not impressed by their debut album. Chaotic to the extreme and not much when it comes to quality. I had heard on the grapevine that Aubades was more structured and more melodic.

Indeed, it is.

We are talking a mix of post-metal and jazz. There is also some pop sensibilities here and some King Crimson influences.

The vocals is good and the music is a lot organic despite of all the programming and electronics it is supposed to contain. The piano is great.

The band is onto something on this album. An album with a lot of style and poise.

This is a good band and I hope I will meet up with their last album sometimes soon.

3 points
