Arktis - Arktis 1973

on Thursday, December 11, 2014 | 0 Comment

The German psych/prog label called Garden of Delights recently made a campaign to reissue a bunch of lost krautrock classics, Arktis is at the top of these 70s obscurities. Formed in 1973, the band released their first album the same year. This self title album revisits a conventional heavy rock style mixed with freak out improvisations largely made of fuzzy guitars. In 1974 has been published an album with many demos. Konrad Plank was the producer. After a rather poor commercial support the band split. In 1975 will be released an other effort including many Arktis demos tape sessions. The music always features colourful heavy fuzz jams.
