Guranfoe - Gumbo Gumbo (2022)

The second album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, grand piano, organ, piano, keyboards, mellotron and synths.

A handful of guests added lap steel guitar, percussion, flute, saxophone and voice.

Their 2019 debut album Sum Of Erda was a good album indeed. Quirky, eclectic instrumental prog rock.

The band has in the years following that album done a lot of gigs and released a lot of live albums. Some of these tunes has found it's way to a studio and has become this album. There are also other compositions you only can find on this studio album too.

The music is still quirky, eclectic progressive rock with some Canterbury prog and jazz influences. There are also some RIO chamber rock influences here and those are pretty strong indeed.

There is a lot of interesting detail on this forty minutes long album. 

The overall quality is also good throughout. I hope we will get some more albums from this band. I have really enjoyed their two albums.
