CRAVINKEL

The first from pop-ish krauty collective Cravinkel, combining a nice intimate pastoral flair with weird primitive folk and dynamic freak'n roll. Globally this one is more inspired than their second which sounds as basic heavy rock. The opening theme is a conventional, cool retro rockin song with efficient melodies and fuzzy guitar leads. Two circle is a moody-plaintive acid rock ballad built on dreamy-like wha wha guitar textures, highly emotional vocals, impressively intimate and beautiful composition. Lucy is a country like folk-ish tune for FM pop radio, very dated stuff. Heaven is a stoned acid folk ballad including acoustic guitar tricks, bucolic percussions and pop-ish vocals. Candlelight, Lonsome Road and Hidden Love are catchy-playful country-like rockin songs. A mellow sounding album with no real personal characteristics.
