The fifth album from this band from Germany.
The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
I have missed out on their third and fourth albums. From what I have been told, they are more like rehashing the first two albums. Which is not a bad thing.
Getaway sees the band mixing up 1970s symphonic prog with krautrock, stoner rock and psych rock.
The vocals are good. The best thing here is the ancient keyboards. The organ, mellotron and moog sound. That gives the listener a good 1970s vibe.
Some of the songs and indeed the sound reminds the listener about The Doors. But there is also some krautrock here and the music is at times pretty hard.
Hard psych rock is never far from the music here.
The songs, sometimes compositions, are very good and this makes this album one of the better albums of the year.
Germany has given us a new great band and their albums is very much worth checking out.
