Visit
the heady days of 1973 via this 7” coloured vinyl disc!
A new band to me but
very welcome, Proud Peasant are a perfect fit on Fruits de Mer
Records with their brand of '70s-inspired progressive rock. This
limited edition 7” sees them give their take on two instrumental
tracks from 1973; a taut and driving cover of Eloy's 'Daybreak' on
the A-side, with a version of 'Saturn, Lord Of The Ring/Mercury, The
Winged Messenger' (originally by Manfred Mann's Earth Band) on the flip.
Despite their love of
'70s UK/German music, the band actually hail from Austin, Texas, a
city which has its own reputation as a psychedelically creative
hotspot. This release further cements that. Virtuosic and even a
little proto-punk in places, both sides are a treat for lovers of
classic progressive rock. For further investigation check out their
critically acclaimed debut LP Flight. More details on the
band's website.
Released as a limited
edition colour vinyl 7” (600 copies).
