The legendary (fusion) rock band Kraan returns with a powerful new studio album that will be released as a CD as well as a vinyl edition on 36MUSIC.
All In marks a triumphant return from German fusion pioneers Kraan, arriving more than five decades after the band's formation and just under three years after their previous studio release, Zoup. Issued on 36MUSIC in both CD and vinyl formats, the album reaffirms Kraan's enduring ability to blend rock, jazz, funk, and psychedelic elements into a sound that remains both distinctive and remarkably fresh. Across eleven new compositions, the band delivers a relaxed yet virtuosic performance, where intricate harmonies and fluid grooves unfold with an effortless sense of balance and cohesion.
Formed in the late 1960s, Kraan emerged as a key figure in Germany's progressive and jazz-rock movement, developing a signature style defined by rhythmic sophistication, melodic interplay, and improvisational freedom. Anchored by bassist Hellmut Hattler--whose elastic, highly expressive playing has long been central to the band's identity--the group has consistently evolved while maintaining a recognizable core sound. On All In, Hattler is joined by drummer Jan Fride (often credited as Jan Fride) and guitarist Peter Wolbrandt, whose dynamic and finely detailed guitar work, complemented by subtle synthesizer textures, adds both urgency and nuance to the trio's interplay.
The album showcases Kraan's ability to sound simultaneously seasoned and exploratory, with tracks that move between laid-back grooves and more intricate, rhythmically driven passages. While the band's hallmark lightness and musical conversation remain intact, All In also introduces new elements, including moments of understated pop accessibility woven into their complex arrangements. The result is a confident and cohesive work that not only honors Kraan's legacy but demonstrates their continued relevance as innovators within the fusion and progressive rock landscape.
