TRÚBROT / TRUBROT / レコード

ICELAND産ロック・シーンの最重要バンド、'69年。サイケデリック・イディオムの影響を多大に受けたポップなサウンドを披露しつつ、Organを中心とする多彩さと陰影に満ちたサウンドが素晴らしいトータル作。ストリング・アレンジとAcoustic-Gをバックに憂いを秘めた女性Voがのる泣きの"Rain"、クラシカルかつ荘厳なストリングが響き渡る"Loving Your ?"等、英国レア・サイケ・アイテムにも劣らぬ内容は優れもの!

Numbered edition of 500, heavy gatefold sleeve on 180 gram vinyl with 2 page insert. "TrAobrot was the first supergroup ever founded in Iceland. It was created in May 1969 when leading members of 'HljA3mar' (Sounds) and 'Flowers' set out to create the finest Icelandic rock group of all time. Guitarist and composer Gunnar ThA3rgarson, bass player and singer RAonar JAolAusson and lead vocalist Shady Owens of HljA3mar had been plotting this for some months, along with organist Karl Sighvatsson and drummer Gunnar JAkull HA!konarson of Flowers, before the band's genesis was announced publicly. These were troubled times and TrAobrot had countless hurdles to overcome before the band eventually fell apart early in 1973. After the dAcbut album was released in December 1969 by EMI, vocalist Shady Owens announced that she was quitting. TrAobrot recorded 3 more albums (forthcoming on Shadoks). Tony Branwell of Apple Records was saying these were one of the two best bands he had seen perform on stage in the preceding six months. Really cool underground album full of musical ideas and well-crafted music, male & female vocals. The music should hit the same listener of UK bands such as Blossom Toes, Billy Nichols; underground with a touch of pop.
