Fleur De Lis - Facing Morning (1971)

Fleur De Lis came from Skive in the middle of Jutland/Denmark and was founded by two friends in spring of 1970 who had been played at the local progressive blues-bands The Fog and The False Image before.

In 1972 their only record came out as a private release and in a number of 500 copies and was titled Facing Morning.
For educational reasons several band members left Skive and so Fleur De Lis was disbanded in the spring of 1973.
The completely own compositions present progressive rock of the best kind and with an interesting own style, which can convince by fine guitar-parts as well as by the congenial organ-play in addition with the fine male and female vox. The lyrics are parts in Danish and in English, some of the tracks are instrumental.
Due to the rareness of this album the music of Fleur de Lis was up to this time reserved to a very small public.
“Facing Morning” by Fleur De Lis is one of the rarest albums from Scandinavia.
It was the only album by this Danish band and nowadays it’s a true collector’s item as the original pressing. The band plays psychedelic rock with lots of nice organ and solid guitarwork.
There are also some progressive elements as well but mostly this one is a psych rock record.
One of the rarest collectable European progressive psych rock albums! To me it kinda sounds like Paternoster with some kinda drugged out female vocals.
