Our Take

Van Der Graaf Generator's latest offering, "The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other", is a mind-bending journey through the outer reaches of prog rock. This album is a sonic smorgasbord of twisted time signatures, haunting vocals, and epic guitar solos that will leave you questioning the very fabric of reality.

From the opening track, "Darkness (11/11)", to the sprawling epic, "White Hammer", Van Der Graaf Generator takes listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions and musical styles. Peter Hammill's distinctive vocals soar and wail over the intricate instrumentation, creating a sense of unease and wonderment that is truly captivating.

The band's experimental approach to songwriting is on full display here, with tracks like "Killer" and "Man-Erg" pushing the boundaries of what prog rock can be. The musicianship on display is nothing short of awe-inspiring, with each member of the band bringing their A-game to every track.

Overall, "The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other" is a testament to the enduring power of prog rock, and Van Der Graaf Generator prove once again why they are legends in the genre. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey unlike any other.
