The Electric Family Saba
The 7th studio album of the celebrated German formation THE ELECTRIC FAMILY! In 2020, the Electric Family surprised with the nearly concept album Echoes Don't Lie and caused a stir not only in Germany. The musicians were looking forward to the concerts planned at the time, which then fell victim to the lockdown and were postponed to an uncertain future. At that time, the family only briefly licked their wounds and immediately went to work on the follow-up album. The idea of a sequel to the Echoes album was quickly scrapped. Only the title News From The Echo Room made it onto the new album and forms a kind of connection to the predecessor. The rest of the song material was created independently. Long-standing family members such as Burghard Rausch (Agitation Free), Marlon Klein (Dissidenten, Peter Apel, Jochen Schoberth and Anders Becker) joined the regular crew of Tom The Perc Redecker, Rolf Kirschbaum and Harry Payuta. Achim Färber, among others, was a newcomer (Project Pitchfork, Heppner). The result was another album bursting with variety, which ranges from mellotronal folk rock and psychedelic chamber music to alternative rock with prog/krautrock borrowings. A cornucopia of musical ideas! And as with every album by this band, nothing compares.
