Paradieswärts Düül

Released

If you’re more familiar with the better-known ADII work like Yeti and Phallus Dei, this will likely confuse you. This band has zero member overlap with II and the sound is as peace-seeking as the other is fire-breathing. It’s a bit like “Come Together” drawn out into a full-length album folk jam. Rainer Bauer has a very Lennon-esque sound, and his wife Ella harmonizes with him quite well. This is the most hippie-positive end of krautrock and I love it but I cannot fit that into any larger theory.
