Electric Family. The - Ice Cream Phoenix (2003)

The fourth album from this band from Germany.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, steel guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This band has released around ten albums and is still an ongoing band. I am thinking about getting more, if not all of their albums, for reviews later on. Ice Cream Phoenix is for me just a taster of this band.

The music is most definate psych rock with some space rock. 

Someone has also labeled this band's music as alternative country rock. Yes, there is some americana influences here. Pretty strong ones. But there are also some krautrock influences here. On balance, this is more a krautrock album than anything else.

The guitars are pretty spaced out and lives somewhere in outer space. The vocals is very good at times.

There are also some light male or female backing vocals on this album.

The music is melodic and has got some strange vibes. It sounds like a very overlooked album to me and I need to explore this band some more.
