Harvey Rushmore & the Octopus - Freedomspacecake


 Cannot recommend this LP more for fans of Moon Duo, Spacemen 3 and Black Angels. Following a much needed hiatus Harvey Rushmore and The Octopus release their third studio album, a heady mix of garage, psych and Krautrock.

Freedomspacecake is the band’s 46 minute dystopian and fuzz-soaked answer to a world tripping over one disaster to the next with the sting of the thrilling ride. The members of the band have known each other for over 15 years - Massimo Tondini and Jakob Läser, were former members of the band Navel – and as with fellow veterans of psych rock such as The Heads and Wooden Shjips they plough a tantalising locked groove.

HR&tO bring us their third album "Freedomspacecake". The band has used the pandemic-related touring and concert impossibility to create this album. The result is nine tracks which deal with fears, excesses and the downfall of the world. A bad trip, which threatens the world since a long time. If it goes according to Harvey Rushmore & the Octopus, there is only one remedy: "Freedomspacecake"
