The 12th album from this band from Holland.
The band is now a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, synths and vocals.
Us is really Jos Werners band and he has been running it since the beginning of this century. First as a proper band and then as a more studio-project and then home-studio project.
I have been reviewing the US albums since 2010'ish and has become very fond of the band and Jos Werners. We never speaks but he has a kind of a fan over here in Scotland.... me.
Us music is strange and almost an own genre in itself.
Take symphonic prog, add a lot of neo-prog and write songs who almost feels like dirges and funeral music. That is both surreal music and the music we have got on the last Us albums.
The music is not technical. It is slightly epic and it is suffering from the lack of resources like great musicians and a proper band environment.
What it has got is some very strange, disturbing female vocals who fits the dirge like progressive rock like a hand in a glove.
The result is an own genre and an album somewhere between decent and good.
Us and mostly because their music is so out there on it's own, deserve a lot more attention. Pick up the courage and do some explorations here.
Check out this album.
