Grombira - Desert Warp (2022)

The second album from this band from Germany.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, oud, sitar, synths, keyboards and voice.

Their debut album was an Asian sounding space rock/krautrock album with some raga rock influences. It was and still is an unique album within that genre.

Gosh did it blow my head off.

The follow up starts with some really good sitars before it takes a much more desert rock, space rock and krautrock direction.

Desert Warp is not as far out as the debut album.

That is a kind of a shame.

The music is still engaging with tinged with Indian folk music and Ravi Shankar references.

This forty five minutes long Bandcamp album is very much well worth checking out as it is a good album with four good compositions. The longest and the best one clocking in at over twenty minutes.

This is a band I regard as one of my best finds this year.

3 points
