Malady - Malady (2015)

 

The debut album from this band from Finland.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, grand piano, organ, mellotron, keyboards and vocals.

Three guests added mellotron and flute.

This band is among the many new bands from Finland who has taken up the inheritance left by the great Finnish prog rock bands from the 1970s. Finland had and has a good scene now and Malady was and hopefully still is a part of this scene.

The band has so far released three albums and they are all up for reviews in this blog, either in this edition or in the upcoming # 4 of this blog. 

The music on this forty minutes long album is a mix of psych rock, folk rock and a bit of symphonic prog. The album has got male Finnish vocals/lyrics and the vocals are all good.

There are some good organ and mellotron harmonies here and the guitars too are good.

The music is both complex and melodic. It also has a great ambience and feel.

The result is a good album and one that makes me look forward to getting my teeth into their two other albums too.
