All In

Description

The legendary fusion rock band Kraan makes a grand return with a striking new studio album, "All In." Nearly two and a half years after the release of their last studio album, "Zoup," and 55 years after the band's formation, Kraan finally delights its fans with a new opus. The wait was truly worth it. On "All In," the virtuosic and joyful band celebrates its innovative and timeless blend of rock and jazz with relaxed confidence and sovereign ease, enriched by psychedelic and funk elements. The eleven new compositions, shaped by sophisticated harmonies and rhythms, sound exceptionally fresh, melodic, and energetic. While bassist Hellmut Hattler and drummer Jan Frides provide a rhythmic foundation that is both elegant and powerful, with refined grooves, guitarist Peter Wolbrandt captivates with his intense yet subtle string playing and his mastery of the synthesizer. Always perfectly coordinated, the three members succeed in preserving their characteristic band sound, with an apparent lightness, while introducing new and surprising ideas, and even, from time to time, a pop appeal.
