Ramkot - Rosa (2024) [Official Digital Download]

For three weeks, Ghent trio Ramkot camped in Rancho De La Luna to work on a very worthy successor to debut In Between Borderlands, which shook Ghent's foundations barely eighteen months ago. They recorded the record there under the inspired guidance of the legendary Alain Johannes (known as producer of Queens Of The Stone Age, for instance). The sound of opening track Nowhere To Go also immediately reveals that these Belgians have listened quite a bit to QOTSA, or at least to The Way You Used To Do.

Nevertheless, Ramkot manages to perfectly merge their influences into a sound that is typically their own. Don't ask me how, but they manage to form a certain unity in a very diverse whole, alternating between short crackers (three songs don't reach 2.5 minutes, with Blame It On Yourself being a straight-to-the-point rocker of just over 90 seconds) and epic long trips, such as the six-minute Zeppelin, obviously also a kind of ode to the giants of yesteryear. If you like pounding like Royal Blood, psyching like King Gizzard, bluesing like Jack White, or maybe just want to stoner like Fu Manchu, Ramkot has the right ball of ice cream for everyone with a signature Ramkot rock dip on top.
