Whispers of Granite - Liquid Stone (2025)

 

The debut album from this band from Germany & Norway.

The band is a duo with a lineup of keyboards and vocals.

Some guests added drums, percussion, bass, guitars, strings, synths and programming.

This band is Andreas Hack from the German band Frequency Drift on keyboards and Trude Eitang from the Norwegian band When Mary on vocals. They released this fifty minutes long album on Appolon Records. A digital copy can be ordered from Frequency Drift's Bandcamp page.

The music here is a blend of dream pop, folk rock, melancholic rock and cinematic rock. References are Mostly Autumn and the many female fronted keltic prog bands.  

The music is dominated by Trude's excellent vocals. There is a lot of good musicianship supporting these vocals. The vocal harmonies are also good.

The songs are all lush and full of colours. The music is also elegant too. The music is a bit too sweet at times. That is my only gripe with this album.

This is indeed a good album and one to check out. I am not sure if this is a one-of album or the duo will release more albums together. I hope we will hear more from this band.
