Born from a lightning-fast 5-day recording session in Mannheim, Germany, the historic birthplace of the automobile, REISE is a collaborative cosmic exploration by space-rock purveyors Spiral Drive (Raphaël Neikes) and psychedelic-pop eccentric Lord Fascinator (Johnny Mackay).Meaning “Journey” in German, REISE is a seamless, gapless concept album engineered to be the ultimate soundtrack for movement. Built on the relentless, hypnotic pulse of traditional Krautrock and injected with heavy modern fuzz, the record takes the listener on a five-stage transit from the asphalt of Earth straight into the deep unknown of outer space.Five chapters. Five modes of transport. One continuous trip.

Visions in Bloom (2022) is a masterful and refreshing journey through progressive psychedelic rock, heavily infused with 90s alternative textures and punky fuzz. Often described by listeners as a glorious, meandering rock opera akin to the heavy, infectious craftsmanship of Queens of the Stone Age, the album seamlessly bridges the gap between catchy hooks and powerful sonic explorations. Stylistically, Spiral Drive balances neo-psychedelia, grunge, and space-rock sensibilities, creating dynamic, texturized soundscapes where every track feels distinct yet flows effortlessly into the next. Driven by driving basslines, swirling guitar riffs, and layered production, the album serves as a captivating, high-energy trip that establishes the band as a powerhouse in the modern psych-rock scene.
