Backtrack: 17 Hippies, Heimlich

17 Hippies

If you’re looking for something different, give 17 Hippies Heimlich a listen. The 13-member ensemble from Berlin, Germany bring together some interestingly varied influences (Eastern European and American folk to name two of the more obvious) and it makes for an intriguing session.

Having been around in some form or another for 11 albums in as many years, Heimlich is the sound of a mature band that knows what it wants the world to hear.

For funzies, here’s 17 Hippies’ take on the classic (nee Poptastic) “Apache”, which, coincidentially, I wrote about almost exactly one year ago.
