Gaf y la estrella de la muerte // Pyramids 2xLP

Psychedelic band GAF ​​from Tenerife, Canary Islandsis a 2023-disc record released in September 9 from Discrepant, a large jungle area in Portugal.

Contains 7 cosmic improvised jam session songs. DL link included.

Below is a commentary by the label.

"GAF is back! This time with Estrella de la Muerte, a double album that serves as a gateway to the unknown of space. This prolific project is led by local Canarian anchorman Mladen Krahica. Delving deep into the esoteric rock genre, this time we take the time to plunge listeners into a brave new type of cosmic rock, with a krautrock voyage deeply influenced by '2s jamming and psychonautic exploration. Don't waste it.

Recorded over three days in the midst of the 2020 pandemic, in the hottest summer ever, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife's cultural space El Tanque, the band made no plans. I went into this space empty-handed and instead decided to approach the recording session without any preconceptions or pre-written songs.Cleaned out of outside influences and ready to experiment, they created new approaches to songwriting and used the available tools, including an array of modular synths, to create new approaches to songwriting and flesh out ideas for future albums on the fly. All the equipment was loaded.

The process of exploring this through pure improvisation and jamming resulted in the album we are introducing here.Other than cutting a few songs to fit on the album, no overdubbing or further editing was done.The recording process, totaling nearly five hours, ended up being a seven-track, 5-minute double-LP set.

All of the reverb you hear on this record is El Tanque's natural reverb, a 16-second tail natural reverb recorded using multiple room microphones in various parts of the venue.In the end, this album became the first fully instrumental Estrella de la Muerte composition with seven musicians (Gaf y Estrella de la Muerte usually consists of six).The song selection is full of inspiration, including psychedelic damage tunes, 7's space rock, psycho acoustic, and Kosmische-inspired jams.This is healing music for a journey that will change your mind.The title ``Pyramid'' serves not only as a gateway to the unknown of the universe, but also as an exploratory symbol of the band's willingness to freely accept the inner flow of the subconscious into the collective body of the universe. There is.It's ecstatic music for this era. "

'GAF are back! This time under their Estrella de la Muerte configuration and with a gateway musical behemoth double album into the cosmic unknown. The prolific project, helmed by local Canarian anchorman Mladen Kurajica, dwells deep into esoteric rock genres and this time, they waste no time in plunging the listener into their brave new type of cosmic rock with a deeply influenced krautrock voyage of '70s jamming and psychonautic exploration. Recorded over three days in the cultural space of El Tanque, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, at the height of the covid pandemic of 2020 and during one of the hottest summers to date, the band entered the space with no plan in mind deciding instead to approach the recording sessions without any preconceived ideas or pre-composed songs. Clean out of external influences and ready to experiment they loaded in all their available gear, including an array of modular synths, in order to create a new approach to song writing and flesh out some ideas for a future album in situ. The very process of that search, through pure improvisation and jamming, became the album we're presenting here. No overdubs or subsequent edits were done, except for cutting some songs so that they could fit on the album. Almost five hours of recordings in total, finally reaching a seven-track, 69-minute double LP. All the reverb heard on the record is the natural reverb of El Tanque, a 16-second tail natural reverb recorded with several rooms mics at different locations in the venue. Eventually this became the first fully instrumental album by the Estrella de la Muerte configuration, with a line-up of seven musicians (Gaf y Estrella de la Muerte are normally a sextet). Enter then, this inspired selection of psychedelically damaged tunes, '70s space rock, psychoacoustics, and Kosmishe inspired jamming. This is healing music for your mind-altering journeys. The titled "Pyramids" here serving not only as a gateway to the cosmic unknown but also as an exploratory symbol of the bands' willingness to freely embrace their subconscious inner flows into a cosmic collective. Ecstatic music for these times. "
