Jupiter Fungus - Garden Electric (2024)

 

The debut album from this band from Greece.

The band was a duo with a lineup of guitars, keyboards, flute, tin whistle and vocals.

A trio of guests added drums, bass, guitars and glockenspiel.

This album was released a couple of months ago and has got some attention and indeed praise.

The band has been compared to Jethro Tull. With good reasons, too.

Take folk rock in the vein of Jethro Tull, art-rock and some 1970s hard rock. Then you get music like this.

There is a lot of flutes on this album. The vocals is pretty good and not dissimilar to Ian Andersson. 

There is a lot of quirky details on this fifty minutes long album. The music is pretty spicy throughout. 

The sound is very warm and takes the listener back to the 1970s.  

There are a lot of good stuff here. The songs are lacking a bit in quality. But on balance, this is still a good album and well worth checking out from their Bandcamp site.
