Mouth - Vortex (2017)

The second album from this band from Germany.

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

This band has to this date released five studio albums and I got three of them up for reviews in the next week or so.

Their music was pretty youthful and wild on their 2009 debut album Rhizome. So I expected more of the same. 

Eight years had passed and the band had evolved. The music on Vortex is darker and more moody. More melancholic and more avant-garde. The music is still a mix of hard rock, classic rock, glam, psych and krautrock. But with some avant-garde and post metal influences. Again, some of the music is dissonant. 

The band has still retained their ability to write good and pretty catchy songs/melodies. 

The result is another hour with good music from this band. A band I would label as highly talented and possible one of the future greats in the progressive rock scene.
