Acid Rooster - Flowers & Dead Souls (2023)

The second album from this band from Germany.

The band is a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitar, sitar, synths and mellotron.

This band from Leipzig album debuted in 2019 and then took a long break. Perhaps a pandemic break. The band then returned with this Bandcamp album and LP.

The music is, as most people would have guessed by now, a mix of kraut, acid and space rock. 

There is a lot of half-acoustic guitars in their music and that gives this album a pretty good organic feel. This also gives the music a great deal of an acid rock feel. Even some psych rock feel.

Most of this forty-five minutes long album takes place somewhere in space. Not in outer space, but still in a space rock setting.

The music is cleverly crafted and groovy at the same time. There is a lot of melodic sensibility in the music too.

The synths and mellotron is mainly backing up the guitars. A wall of bass and drums is underpinning the grooves and the music.

The result is a good album and one to check out if kraut and space rock floats your boat. 

Check it out.
