Vespero are an awesomely great, instrumental space rock band from Astrakhan, south Russia, that are fully the equal of anyone working in the vein. They have a lot of albums out, but this is the first one I've been able to source and carry. Released in a limited edition of only 300 in a digipack, with nearly 30' more on the CD than on the vinyl, this is stunningly good modern space rock with psychedelic and ethnic influences.
Do you like Ozrics, Hidria Spacefolk, Korai Oram and Øresund Space Collective? You do? Meet your new favorite band!
“Vespero have been quickly developing into one of the most exciting instrumental bands on the contemporary Space Rock scene. Utilizing elements of Space Rock, Psychedelia, Krautrock, Progressive Rock and ethnic influences, Vespero morph, mutate and blend their various influences into music that varies from one album to the next, but is always uniquely Vespero.”-Jerry Kranitz, Aural Innovations
