The album’s first single, “Father Sun”, arrives alongside a live video which will take the listener into unexplored universes via the catchy rhythm of the hypnotizing bagpipe and entrancing guitar riffs, rising up to an enormous storm. The powerful, rough voices praising Mother Earth entangle with the instruments, producing a homogeneous atmosphere.
VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY gather their strengths from Greek nature and cosmic spirits, letting it flow right into their phenomenal Psychedelic Stoner Rock. Delivering amazing performances, the band ascends forth to create their first live album, “Through Space And Time (Alive in Athens 2020)”. With their short but very mesmerizing discography, the live show is centered around the band’s most recent studio album, “Age Of Aquarius” (2019), as they play the album in sequence and spice it up with songs from their debut album and singles.
Starting with the fascinating “Welcome”, “Age of Aquarius” and “Part V” all in sequence, VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY represent their ability as great storytellers underlined by great visuals. The band then jumps straight into their debut album, “Riza” (2014), playing “Nova”, “Perdikomata” and “Skaros”. Fans are blown away from the dedication of the clarinet, bagpipe, and guitar! “Through Space And Time (Alive in Athens 2020)” presents the sextet’s attention to detail with great production, amazing musicianship, a bombastic live presence, and the yearning to play more amazing shows in the future.
