Blackberries (or sometimes The Blackberries) is a band from Solingen, Germany whose music is a throwback to a particular era in rock where the lines between psychedelic and progressive rock were vague, and the separation, porous. The core of their music has strong kinship with the area where Camel, Caravan, and Curved Air overlap. But they also have a thread built on a free-flowing and grooving pulse that every so often drifts into the krautrock territory (see Can, Faust). Their songs are not overtly melodic, the singing has a blurry, dreamy quality to it, and their instrumentation harkens back to the classic bands of all three genres. Their 2022 album Vorw​ä​rts R​ü​ckw​ä​rts sees some change in direction where the band operates more on the softer side of the said genres, with more emphasis places on songs rather than construction of musical narratives.
