Kombynat Robotron – AANK

Red Vinyl

With driving rhythms, repetitive riffs and spherical soundscapes, Kombynat Robotron create a hypnotic sound that blurs the boundaries between krautrock, psychedelic and noise rock. The Kiel-based trio has been an integral part of the European psychedelic rock scene since its formation in 2018 and stands for raw energy, musical freedom and rampant improvisation. With six studio albums acclaimed by fans and critics, as well as various tape and split releases and shows with bands such as Elder, Verstärker and Kungens Män, Kombynat Robotron has made a name for itself as an uncompromising (live) band that carries the spirit of Krautrock into the present day.

On ‘AANK’, their seventh studio album in as many years and first on Fuzz Club, the trio work with vocals and song structures for the first time, moving away from their musical beginnings as an instrumental jam band. Kraut and psychedelic rock can still be found deeply rooted on ‘AANK’, but more focused and delivered with much more heaviness than in the past. The flowing psychedelic soundscapes of the band’s previous records give way to the asphalt of the Autobahn. Between opening track ‘Staub’ and closer ‘Finsternis’, the Kombynat races, noises and rages across a total of eight tracks.
