If you've been crying out for a retro blues rock infused fix, then this might be the release your looking for, as Errorhead return with their latest effort 'Modern Hippie'.
The album has an infectious feel to it from the start, the spoken, almost test recording, opening with 'That's Good', the scene is set for a band that on the surface at least really do not take themselves too seriously, and really are about making good music.
Now here's the key, after getting past the early more blues rock affairs on the album, we land at the tracks 'Dave' and 'Temporary Impression', the first a guitar solo that is so completely in the vein of Dave Gilmour and Pink Floyd as to be uncanny, followed up with a track that you just wish had been recorded by Floyd themselves. It reeks of the influence, it reeks of the sound, luckily it actually stands the test and doesn't fall flat on it's face because of it. No, I'm not saying this is anywhere near as good as some of the material that Floyd have released over the years, but in the absence on the masters, then at least here on this disc we have someone doing an admirable job of keeping that torch alight.
If you like Floyd, you like the guitar mastery of Hendrix and you're looking for an album that combines all of that on one disc, then Errorhead may well be the CD you have been looking for. I've not heard a band in a long time that can go from one style to another so well, and so seamlessly, so credit where it's due.
