Afforested - Ancient Healing Oakwood Journeys (2022)

 

The fourth album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a duo with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, mandolin, keyboards, vocoder, whistle and voices.  

This is a band I have been following for a while (see reviews in # 2 and # 3 in this blog). They have just released their fifth album. An album I will review this weekend/next week. But before that, it is only right to first review their fourth album.

The music on this fourty minutes long album is a blend of psych rock, folk rock and symphonic prog.

The music is instrumental and has a lot of Trace, Jethro Tull and ELP references.  

The music, which is one long piece, fourty minutes long, has a lot of guitars and whistles too. The music is pretty heavy at times. This is by no means a gentle hippie album. 

Some of the pieces here are pretty cheesy and not really up to an acceptable standard. Too much of this album is cheesy.

This is a decent album and well worth checking out. This album is far from being their best album.
