Rubber Tea - From a Fading World (2023)

The second album from this band from Germany.

The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, flute and vocals.

They had help from some guests who provided strings and woodwinds.

Their 2020 debut Infusion was a bit of a revelation and the band was tipped as one of the better talents in the scene. 

The follow up has retained the best from the debut. That means German neo-prog with a lot of art-rock and some folk rock influences. There are even some jazz and RPI influences here.

The folk rock and RPI elements has been added as the band has expanded their horizons a bit and incorporated new ideas into their songs and music.

The music is lush and flowery. This is a lot due to the saxophones. Vanessa Gross vocals is also a big plus in their sound and music. Her English vocals are very good.

The result is forty-five minutes with some very good music. Check out this band and both their albums.
