Root is back with the first new studio album in 4 years and a pretty new line
up with only Sam (bass, vocals) and Love (drums) from the original SR. The new
guitar player Matte, the organ player Erik and lead singer Jonas, have been in
the band for a year or more and really have found the vibe. As the band has
been doing for many years this was recorded completely analog in the bands own
studio. Between the Lines opens the record and is a sort of hard edge, almost
southern rock (vocal style) like guitar riff. Classic rock, 70s style. 7 Years is next has
some great guitar and organ interaction and also has a pretty hard riff. The
chorus really gets tiring though, do you really need to sing,” 7 years of bad
of luck, filled with pain and misery you broke the mirror on my wall” 20 times
in a short song?? I like space section leading into the boogie jam a lot.. The
next two tracks are both very Deep purple inspired especially the Root Rock
Pioneers which starts with a guitar and organ jam. The way you turn starts side
B off and is a damn catchy track with a cool organ sound and groove. Matte
plays some nice slide guitar on this one as well. Keep on Climbing is a quite
dark track and a bit psychedelic as well with some cool organ playing. The
guitar solos are too short but I know in concert they are jamming out these
tracks which is really cool. Going Down is foot stomping rock and roll track. In
my Kitchen is a very nice long slow bluesy track and a great way to end the
pretty intense hard rocking record. A great return for the band and a fresh new
Deep Purple inspired sound without the screams! Congrats guys.. The album is also being released in the USA
on Cleopatra. I hope this will finally get the band to the USA…
