LUCIFER "Lucifer" (1970)





Rochester (US) based LUCIFER released their first and only album in 1970. Immediately they reveal their melodic and somewhat suggestive sound, opening with the song Sixteen. A distinctive genre can't be pinpointed on this the five piece band. Instead, prepare yourself for a feast in hard rock, shaped with psychedelic contours, harmonic background vocals and a rhythm that stays with you after the album has ended. 


You Better Find Somebody To Love and Crabby Day shine a little brighter than the other songs, non the less, the whole album oozes quality and high standard. Containing both a dominating piano and guitar, it offers soulful width in its presentation.

Hollow, echoing guitar loops and a bass so prominent it taps you on the nose. Yes, it gets quite difficult not getting carried away listening to "Lucifer" when its essence is that strutting and funky.
