Background/Info:
Set up and driven by the
creative spirit of Album Julius (formerly involved with The Moon Lay Hidden
beneath A Cloud and of course Der Blutharsch) Der Blutharsch And The Infinite
Church Of The Leading Hand strikes back with a new opus in their already impressive
discography.
Content:
The style and influences
haven’t really changed. The album reveals another ‘freestyle’ opus, which is
dominated by different kinds of rock music. From pure apocalyptic passages to
psychedelic parts, the band prefers to call it ‘neu kraut music’. It also
sounds a bit like time traveling getting us back to 60s, and also the early
80s. Is this the imaginary hybrid between Pink Floyd and Can? It might appeal for fans of both fans.
+ + + :
The krautrock style is
definitely back again, but Der Blutharsch And The Infinite Church Of The
Leading Hand is different and more diversified. They’ve created their proper
sound, which also makes their originality. I like their hypnotic/psychedelic
approach remarkably exposed at “Just Because I Can”. The 60s touch emerging on
“Make Me See The Light” is another attention grabber. I also have to say a word
about the female singer Mathynna who injects a truly spirit to the work. Her
timbre of voice has something bewitching, which is totally appropriated with
the hypnotic elements.
– – – :
There are several cool
and noticeable songs featured at “Wish I Weren’t Here”, but maybe not the
ultimate, transcendental experience!
Conclusion:
Der Blutharsch And The
Infinite Church Of The Leading Hand remains a particular experience, which
often reminds me of a revival of hippie music.
Best songs:
“Just Because I Can”,
“Make Me See The Light”, “He Is Here”.
