Marbin - Aggressive Hippies (2015)

 

The fourth album from this Israeli-American band.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and saxophones.

Gosh, it is nine years since I reviewed four of their first five albums. They were on MoonJune Records back then and I got promo copies of their albums. After these reviews in # 1 of this blog, I moved on to some other bands. I did not even know they were still with us until I found some of their remaining albums at the end of last year. 

I put the rest of their album on the list of albums I should review this year. I will review these albums this spring and early summer.

Aggressive Hippies are clocking in at fifty-five minutes.

The music is a blend of jazz and fusion. 

The music is fast and has a lot of saxophone and guitar solos. The music is really dynamic with some hints of gypsy music throughout. The music is also pretty harsh, dissonant and esoteric.

Melodic is not the word I would use on their music. The music is still good and this is a band well worth checking out.
