Modern Krautrock?
 

Is there such a thing? A band that is carrying on the sound of Krautrock?
Tortoise comes to mind, but they are more post-rock. Is krautrock a dead genre?

Cul de Sac did an album with Damo Suzuki called "Abhaymudra". Sounds a lot like CAN

Technically Krautrock only refers to the genre from the 60s and 70s. BUT some bands that have a definite Kraut influence:


Bondage Fruit is a Japanese band classified as Zeuhl. There last cd was released in 05, not sure what their current status is.

Cloudland Canyon has about 5 cds. Last one in 2010.

The Alps. Be careful cause there is another band called The Alps. The right band has only 3 albums last one 2011 titled "Easy Action".

Circle is a band from Finland. They've been releasing discs since 94 and are still putting out stuff as of this year.

Hey check out Julie's Haircut from Italy: julieshaircut.bandcamp.com . They're regular collaborators of Damo Suzuki's as well. Not all they do is actually "krautrock", but some elements are close.... also look for the song "The Devil in Kate Moss" on Youtube, this one features a quite typical "motorik" rhythm. Anyway, the albums "After Dark, My Sweet" and "Our Secret Ceremony" are my advice.

Definite Kraut influence although the band is sadly no more. This track is killer:

I think that Goat's "World Music" (2012) fits to this thread.. Such a unique release!!
Favourite tracks : Let It Bleed & Det Som Aldrig Förändras / Diarabi

Fire! come to mind as a modern example, although I'm not sure everyone would agree with that categorization.

Krautrock is such a vague term that I say why the **** not.

Not sure I qualify as real krautrock. But you can check me out if you want to.

We don't.

Public Service Broadcasting consists of J. Willgoose Esq. and Wrigglesworth, who are each about as London as you can get. Still, their music is quite often tagged and filed as krautrock.

I can certainly see where critics get the kosmische tag from. There's a bit of Hallogallo going on in many of their tracks.

sula bassana from germany play experimental krautrock with elements of psychedelic

Does French krautrock count?? Somewhat new to the genre (and illiterate in modern subgenres in general), but would like to find similar artists where I can listen to the whole album start to finish like this one (also love their Psycho Tropical Berlin album)...

La Femme-- mystere (2016)



Note: I considered requesting recs in the world music forum, but decided against it because of the psychedelic properties... Feel free to redirect as necessary.

I'm tempted to start bumping this until someone graciously helps me...

**** you and the undocumented worker you rode in on.

It's modern krautrock as **** though.

Gotcha. Thanks.

Bump away, Chelsea ! I'd also be interested to hear some recommendations. I have no idea what bands to suggest, but when I searched Progarchives for "Modern Krautrock", I got ten pages of suggestions:-

Please let us know when you've checked them all out. :D

Here's an RYM custom chart of top voted krautrock releases worldwide from the 2010s. I'm glad to see that Public Service Broadcasting made the list.

Or if you'd prefer, here is that same list of krautrock and related genre releases limited to artists from Germany.

Thank you, Lisna and ISB. I'm stoked to check it all out!

Avantasia! Their new album just went gold it's called Ghostlights. This is my favourite from their live album I got with it.

Krautrock ≠ rock from Germany

So this doesn't count?



Lol

Does this count? I was under the noob impression that modern Krautrock is simply psychedelic prog from Germany... but then again, I don't know ****. Ah well, this album was just released in January, falls under the description I just made, and is ****ing amazing. Feel free to move this post whereever it fits best. Just thought I'd pop in and share.

Bees Made Honey in the Vein Tree-- Medicine

Then they should call it something else.

this is what modern Swans playing krautrock would sound like, but pre-modern Swans

.

Never heard these guys before this album but I hope they come out with more music. **** yeah :tramp:
