PEWT'R SESSIONS 2

4.5 stars. CAUSA SUI are a Danish band who have been releasing albums since 2005. On their first two albums they had a singer and I haven't heard those. Then they did a trio of albums called "Summer Sessions" with no vocals but a guest sax player and a trippy, ambient sound overall. These "Pewt'r Sessions" were next and they are also a trio of albums but these are more Krautrock themed, quite dark and heavy at times in the GILA style. The one constant with this band is the trio of Munk, Kahr and Skott but here we also get two keyboardists who add mostly atmospheres to the proceedings to great affect.

Three long tracks including the side long opener "Garden Of Forking Paths" at close to 24 minutes. I'm such a fan of this track, it's quite adventerous even if understated at times. The guitar is impressive in it's various styles but this is a ride that I thoroughly enjoy. "Gelassenheit" is a ray of light on this record with NEU! coming to mind with this feel good groove. It's got that space jamming thing going on and when it turns heavier late look out! Like the OZRICS but better. "Brassica Blues" is the 11 minute closer and the hardest for me to get into but I have grown to appreciate it. I wish it was more engaging but it also has that dark, slowish sound that I like. It's very late before I'm really engaged but it's worth the wait so... there's that. And it's better cranked up I found. Still it keeps me from going 5 stars on this record.

A must and my favourite album by them so far.
