Cró!: Fruit and eclectic prog.

Tweet

Fruit is something I usually eat with great pleasure each day and good fruit is tasty. Fruit in Spanish is as far as I can understand fruta and Buah. Buah! is the new and fifth album from the Spanish eclectic prog band Cró!, and the music is both tasty and I listen to the music with great pleasure from this Vigo band.

To be specific about the musical style of Cró  is difficult but the band’s 2009 self-titled debut album immediately set out a prog manifesto of psychedelic post-rock nuanced with jazz and alt-rock. Worth pointing out is the important role that visuals play in the group’s live performances; video designer Borja Bernárdez is accorded equal status to the other band members and he is always credited on their albums.

Musical and visual improvisation go hand in hand during their concerts, and their interest in free variation was manifested in the sophomore release Dime Que Quedó Grabado! Which comprised a collection of improvisatory live and studio recordings from the years 2007-2011.
