Kanaan - Downpour

Vinyl LP pressing. Kanaan produce so much music that their fuzz pedals are hardly switched off between each practice session. Once again, the young power trio now step out of the rehearsal room, and with them in tow is the brand new album Downpour. It's not difficult to hear that this is a continuation of their last album, Earthbound. Indeed, many of the ideas on Downpour came about when they recorded their previous record in Athletic Sound in Halden, where Downpour was also recorded. The heaviest songs on the album are a continuation of the idea of "The Great riff" and the feeling of triumphant ecstasy when one good riff is replaced by another. Bands like Kyuss, MC5, Sleep and Hawkwind are still great sources of inspiration - while Needlepoint and Dungen are also important markers for the more melodic material on the album.
