Karakorum set to release “Fables And Fairytales”

We’re pleased to announce the new album Fables And Fairytales by Kraut Proggers (+much more!) Karakorum for an May 24 release on Tonzonen Records!

Karakorum beams the Kraut-Sound of the early 1970s directly in the present and takes the listener on an intergalactic journey to a time where the sounds were rough and heavy, the grass was greener and the spirit of the hippies was not buried in the vault of commerce.

Almost two years have gone by since Karakorum’s debut Beteigeuze on Tonzonen Records. Now the Bavarian-based quintet releases their new LP Fables and Fairytales. It’s not another concept-LP, instead this time there are three autonomous long tracks that can’t be more diverse. The music handles the full range from 70s heavy rock to free jazz, from epical melancholy to zappaesque obscurities, but still the band plays their “Karakorum-sound”.

In more than 40 minutes Karakorum invites the listener to a phantastic journey through the width of the Sahara dessert or introduces you to some dadaistic fable creatures. It’s not always to be taken serious but if you listen closely you will find several salutes to the quintets biggest idols.
