THE UNIVERSE BY EAR - III

  • the universe by ear: III
        (2021, cd, Switzerland, on stage)
The Universe By Ear have a new album out and that one's called "Sail Around The Sun".
More on that later.
For now, I want to talk about "III", the amazing album that the Swiss power trio released two years ago.

"III" isn't actually called "III". Not visibly on the album artwork, at least.
As with their previous albums, it's sort of an eponymous release. But it's number three in the series, so to keep things simple and let's call it "III".

5 tracks.
5 long and nicely spun out prog rock tracks in which the three instruments complement each other perfectly.
Add the multi-voiced vocals and you know that I'm a fan.
  • Beni Bürgin: drums, percussion, vocals
  • Pascal Grünenfelder: bass, vocals
  • Stef Strittmatter: guitar, vocals
The Universe By Ear's "III" sounds like a rolling train.
Powerful, energetic and yet, completely under control.
This is how I like my musical journeys.

Check it out !!
Highly recommended.
Also available on CD.
