Avdey - Gates Of Horn And Ivory (2021)

The debut album from this band from Tunisia.

The band is a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, flutes and synths.

This is another name-your-price Bandcamp album and therefore perfect for these covid times.

The music is not easy to pinpoint.

 I have heard Brainticket from Switzerland being used as a reference. I is indeed a good reference too.

Take North-African and Middle-East folk rock and add lot of space rock and not at least; krautrock.

This album does indeed sounds like a krautrock album. 

There is a lot of flutes here and a lot of arabic instruments on the top of some good bass and guitars.

The result is fifty fascinating minutes which will give krautrock fans their money worth. So much that donations  to the band will be forthcoming. 

Check out this album.
