Unexpected but strong is the return of And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead. Just not in time, because in 2019 this American duo celebrated its 25th anniversary while their tenth album was released in early 2020. Jason Reece and met at school and traveled all over America to eventually form the band in Austin. They found their own sound in which noise and punk influences are just as important
… as their love for prog rock. After living in Cambodia for several years, Keely returned to Austin in 2019 to work with Reece on their first record since 2014. The result The Godless Void And Other Stories puts And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead back on the card. After their anarchist early days, the group has over the years found its own form of balanced classic rock, in which guitars often roar, but also found room for more vulnerable moments. A colorful fantasy cover by artist Keely completes the album. (MR)more
