Desert Wave - Deafening Silence (2022)

The second album from this band from Italy.

The band is a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, synths and vocals.

The band album debuted back in 2017 with their Lost In Dunes opus. A power trio instrumental album.

Five years later and the band reappears with a setup where the bassist also does the synths and vocals. That makes the music a lot more interesting.

The music is psych rock with a lot of space rock influences. There is also a lot of hard rock influences here. I think the correct term and label for this music is desert rock.

The sound is.... stoner like and desert rock like. It is also pretty harsh and unpolished. Ditto for the vocals which will not win many friends among those who like silky smooth vocals.

The bass, guitars and drums is thundering along and makes this a pretty esoteric album. An half an hour long album.

This album is a pretty big improvement on their debut album. It is an album stoner, space and desert rock fans should check out. My gripe is the absence of some more good songs here. Nevertheless....

2.5 points
