Acid Rooster
Flowers And Dead Souls
'Flowers & Dead Souls' is the second longplayer of this Leipzig psychedelic trio. The record contains 6 instrumental pieces that explore the depths of free-thinking psychedelic music. From very calm, spherical melodies to space jams to dark and hard melodies, the record contains a variety of different emotions and styles from psychedelic music to krautrock or post rock. Acid Rooster fly into space like an acoustic joyride from the textbook directly from Alan Freeman's 'The Crack In The Cosmic Egg.' With a sound reminiscent of the spirit of German kraut and psych-rock pioneers, the instrumental tracks on their partly improvised albums often oscillate between slow-burning, spaced-out jams and mind-blowing climaxes, with a remarkable level of instrumental density and intuitive improvisation. Rising cosmic drone riffs and monolithic rhythm section have earned them an excellent reputation for their captivating live shows. The three childhood friends Sebastian Väth (guitar), Max Leicht (bass, synthesizer) and Steffen Schmidt (drums, percussion) share a long history of rehearsing and jamming.
