KANOI & KRPL: GEIERSPEIS

Kanoi & KRPL experimental rock project by Benjamin Kantschieder since 2010 working in the studio, initially in love with the Beatles; teams up with KRPL for their 4th album, the 14th for Benjamin with psychedelic tones from the 70s.

'Gelebte Solidarität' gives the 'la' of the album, a convoluted space-rock air, with a musical structure that turns rather than hovering, put in the mouth. 'Stargate or Die!' for one of the 3 big pieces, a gig, a weighted improvisation; a sound reminiscent of Tangerine Dream for the guitar, much more like the Spacelords, Astral Magic for stoner rock or Aton Five for long wanderings; a clarinet in the distance brightens up the listener at the end before the guitar can distract them from an explosive psychedelic-heavy-stoner solo. 'Ewiges Eis' for a psychedelic interlude giving pride of place to Stephan's bass and letting the mind wander freely before leaving for 'Der Kokosnussjongleuse' and its even more soaring air; goes in, heavy, hypnotic, with invasive notes; note the catchy and progressive finale, with this heavy bass. 'Not Enough Darkness' more space ambient, with the oppressive LP crack, the catchy diatonic melody, a long and slow monologue running through space, the ether, your brain.

Kanoi obscure fictional character throws a musical nest from which birds can vibrate in the cosmos; KRPL powerful trio, mixture of Stoner, Psychedelic, Sludge, Doom brings long harmonics, stratospheric suites surfing on alternative rock; an experience for fans of saturated and colorful music eyeing the Oresound Space Collective and the Hawkwind of yesteryear.
