I
must admit I thought 'Rockfour' was a clever-clever pun on rocquefort,
with their slightly cheesy late-'60s sound, but I'm reliably informed
it means 'four people who play rock music', which is slightly less
interesting. Oh well. They're that rarest of things, an Israeli
psych-prog outfit (!).They released three Hebrew-language albums before
switching to English for 2000's Supermarket and the following year's
One Fantastic Day
Now to our point -
Supermarket is absolutely e x c e l l e n t. Great songwriting, with a
sort-of updated early Floyd sound with other stuff thrown in. It's rare
to hear any psych-influenced stuff these days that doesn't sound like
pure pastiche,but Rockfour get the right balance between tribute and
innovation,with a gift for memorable melodies that many (most?) bands
would kill for.
Part neo psychedelia
- Part prog/rock, this blend works perfectly here, (served cold with
great lyrics) and the result ? ... a great album
