Carol of Harvest (psych folk, prog rock / Germany)

Biography:

Carol Of Harvest was founded in Cadolzburg, Bayern, Germany in 1978 - Alex Schmierer recorded under the revived moniker in 2008

One of the many German bands to release a single album on a private label and watch it grow into a collector's dream. Carol of Harvest played a dreamy blend of Progressive Rock and Folk with female vocals that might be compared with Mellow Candle and early Clannad mixed with Jane, Pentangle and Renaissance. The music has the added edge of long arrangements with Moog synth and acid guitar solos, and in reality has little to do with Krautrock.

The front cover photograph was taken, in Nymphenburg Palace park in Munich, by a friend, Manuel, of Alex Schmierer's then girlfriend Rita.
