Pelegrin "Al-Mahruqa" LP

French psychedelic and progressive rock explorers PELEGRIN announce the vinyl  reissue of their travel-inducing debut full-length “Al-Mahruqa”!

“A rich and deeply satisfying album that shows a band everyone needs to know about. This is psychedelic stoner rock of the highest order.” – Outlaws of the Sun

“The songs are huge pieces of work, forever shifting with moments of ethereal beauty, bitter angst, overwhelming cheer and undying optimism.” – Astral Noize

“What a debut! The only word that comes to mind to describe “Al-Mahruqa” is ideal, as it is undoubtedly an amazing album.” – Rockoverdose

When PELEGRIN roams the lands of stoner, prog and heavy psych, it is to make a few steps into the unknown. What drives François (guitar/vocals/production), Jason (bass) and Antoine (drums) is the will to fill a tiny space that seemed vacant in the ever-expanding galaxy of distorted music. Though they stand separated by a few hundred kilometers across France, the three friends are united by a confirmed taste for mesmerizing ambiance, melodies soaked with Middle-Eastern influences, rock-solid riffs, and most crucially, unsettling songs that are always on the move. One could try to bring up a few names such as Elder, OM and Colour Haze, but that would not quite cut it.
