Datcha Mandala - Hara (2020)

High voltage riffs, political and philosophical themes, Robert Plant-like vocals and an overflowing energy perfectly characterize DÄTCHA MANDALA's new album "Hara". On this sophomore LP, the heavy blues trio deliver their strongest, most generous and firmly rock'n'roll record to date. Each one of these songs oozes their unstoppable live energy, and offers a wild ride through the ages of rock'n'roll, from country blues to Bowie-esque digressions and the Beatles' mighty pop rock ignition.

Says the band: "This new album has been recorded at Studio Black Box (Elder, The Kills, Lysistrata) and Studio Berduquet in France by Clive Martin (Queen, Tom Yorke, The Cure). We wanted to get a more modern sound, and stir analog and digital technologies together. On top of our will to root our blues rock, folk, and tribal sound ever further, 'Hara' points out our desire to raise awareness about ecological matters, something strongly topical these days."
