Ian Gothe & Fernando Perdomo published the official music video for the track “City Life” taken from Camel tribute album “Never Let Go – A Tribute to Camel” due out on September 24, 2024 via Think Like A Key Music. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
Imagine if Camel stumbled into 2024, bumped into their progeny, and decided to jam – that’s “Never Let Go” in a nutshell. These 11 reimagined tracks will have you wondering if your speakers have suddenly grown a hump and started spitting. From the heavy, mind-bending take on “Air Born” to the futuristic spin on “City Life,” this album is a Prog Rock kaleidoscope with more layers than a geological formation and more twists than a pretzel factory.
But Ian Gothe and Fernando Perdomo aren’t content to simply ride this Camel alone. They’ve brought along some friends for the journey. Dave Kerzner sprinkles his keyboard magic on the title-track, because every oasis needs a wizard. And if that wasn’t enough to make your prog heart skip a beat, Durga McBroom of Pink Floyd fame lends her ethereal vocals to “Another Night,” creating a sound that’s like Floyd and Camel had a beautiful, Prog Rock baby.
The duo has packed this album with more instruments than a music store going out of business. From 6 & 12-string guitars to flute, bass, tanpura, and even an electric sitar (because regular sitar is so last century), every track is a new adventure in sound. It’s the perfect soundtrack for your next desert trek or interstellar journey, camel or spaceship not included.
Whether you’re a die-hard Camel-ite who knows every hump and bump of their discography, or a prog newbie wondering why everyone’s so excited about a band named after a desert dweller, “Never Let Go” has something for you. It proves that you can indeed teach an old Camel new tricks, and they’re nothing short of spectacular.
