  • Description

    'Laik Tors' is the third album from the Sheffield-based trio. It follows their eponymous debut and follow-up 'Adios Al Futuro', both of which featured in Prog Rock "Top 20" charts and helped establish the band as a vital voice in modern progressive music. Both attracted some enthusiastic reviews, neatly summarised by "they seem to encapsulate and deconstruct the entire history of British avant-rock in one fell swoop".

    This recording is a natural progression, building on and refining their core sound, which features a combination of composed and improvised music. The trio have many overlapping musical influences and a shared love of improvisation. However, it is the melding of their individual styles that brings it together within a modern context.

    Commentator Sid Smith says:
    "Is it jazz? Is it rock? Is it folk? Is it prog? Is it electronica? The answer is all of the above and probably a lot more besides. Not that Das Rad care and neither should you. Energetic, incisive and infused with an inquisitive, passionate spirit, Das Rad create music that goes where it needs to. Do what you can to join them on that journey."

    Nick Robinson: guitars, keyboards, electronics
    Martin Archer: woodwind, keyboards, synth bass, electronics
    Steve Dinsdale: drums, keyboards, electronics
