Hav3 A Good Trip
Deep Dog, 2026
8/10
The duo Rex Bundy and Rich Reardin make up Gabriel Más, where some guests are along for the 11 progressive songs.
“Dinosaur” starts the listen with what seems like field recording before the dense guitar enters the layer prog climate, and “Cave Of The Tenderthals” follows with gentle keys and spoken word that builds into a powerful delivery with thick bass lines.
“No Solid Ground” arrives in the middle and carries a theatrical mood via the emotive singing and rich instrumentation, while “Perfect Weather” enlists scrappy drumming and harmonic voices that you can’t not be drawn to.
Near the end, “The Warm Light Of Day” seems almost spiritual in its layered dynamics and melodic presence, and “Rain (Cold Tears) Via del Agua” exits with soundbites, ethereal vocals and a hazy demeanor.
A sonic adventure that swirls with imagination and awe, Gabriel Más emits a global appeal thanks to plenty of ‘70s influences and strategic introspection
