Cosmic Fall have been rather quite lately, possibly the
quiet before the storm? After a steady stream of quality releases came “In Search of Outer Space” that left me wanting more and more of their psychedelic space
jams.
The Circle of the Sun album that Daniel (Sax – Drums)
dropped in 2018 was something rather special, reminding you how good each
member of the Berlin based trio are individually as well as together, and now
the time has come for new Cosmic Fall in the form of newly released single “Lackland”.
The 8:32 jam kicks off with a real raw live sound to it and
it doesn’t take long for Marcin’s guitar to walk off in the direction of many
heavy rock riffs transported from the 70’s. It flips between the fuzzy sound of
European sounding heavy psych and the wah-wah style that made San Diego a
musical mecca. The guitar this time does have a buzz to it that makes me think
of Hendrix or Cream. Again, if you had to make a reference point for someone,
then Earthless is the band, which is a huge compliment to anyone.
The track doesn’t come up for air once it starts, so no
trippy psych jams this time, but I can’t wait to hear “Lackland” played live as
I can see it extending into a 20 minute jam quite easily.
As for the recording, like I mentioned earlier it sounds as
though its live to tape, Klaus’s bass has the ability to hold the song together
whilst still sounding loose and Daniel’s love of hitting cymbals tops it off.
Hopefully this is the first track from and album that cannot
be far away. “Lackland” is a digital only single that can be found on the
normal musical platforms.
