Pfund – Pfund


Pfund – Pfund
Pink Tank Records – 2018
Rock, Psych, Stoner, Sludge, Prog
Rated: *****

Released at the end of 2018 this fourpiece from the Kiel, Germany sure knows how to keep your attention with their jazzy progressive take on stoner, sludge and psychedelic rock. Well, at least that’s how their self-titled release starts off. Pfund is the name and heavy rock of all sorts is their masterful game! A game that started back around 2009 as a straight up blues rock band; but quickly morphed into more. So much more. There’s so much choppiness going on that it might remind you of Tool or Therapy? for a moment. But it’s the almost laconically sounding bass work and inhumane good drum work that takes the cake here, they propel the songs to amazing heights. And there, on the very tip of those waves the guitar just surfs and wails and riffs and will have you out there on those waves with them. You know what; there is no decent formula that can help you out with Pfund. There is so much different here and so much the same, these cats certainly know there are no rules when it comes to freaking great music. Their degree of contrariness goes hand in hand with the guts and courage the band displays whenever they decide to take a certain route. Exciting, crazy, inaccessible and easy on every heavy rock loving ear! Simply glorious!
