Nana. Bader - Devolver (2017)

The fourth album from this artist from Lebanon & Kuwait.

Bader Nana does the guitars, drums programming, bass, keyboards and vocals.

He got help from two guests who added vocals and guitar solos.

Bader Nana's previous three albums has been a revelation to me. So I was looking forward to give this album a listening session or three.

Bader Nana's music is somewhere in the neo-prog landscape. It is in the British neo-prog tradition and bands like Arena is a good reference.

The music is both melodic and at times very catchy. Commercial in other words and it is only the Bandcamp and his location in Kuwait who prevents him from having a greater status in the scene. I think he is vastly underrated.

The vocals is good and Bader knows how to make clever music. 

This is another good album from him. My only gripe is the missing great melodies. There is none here. But this album will give those into melodic, clever neo-prog a lot to feel joyful about.
