Curlees - Thursday's Father (2022)

The debut album from this band from Syria.

The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This is a new band on the scene. Due to the rather nasty regime and the war in Syria, the band had to relocate to Dubai in the Persian Gulf. A pretty wise choice. 

This album has been released through Bandcamp and that too is a wise choice.

The music is a mix of art-rock in the vein of Gazpacho and neo-prog in the vein of the bands from Poland.

The music on this forty minutes long album is both melancholic and epic. There is not so much a Middle-Eastern feel here as a more melancholic feel like in neo-prog from Poland. 

The Gazpacho influences are also pretty evident throughoug this album. Pink Floyd has also been a big influence in their sound and music.

The vocals are really good and ditto for the guitars.

We can now add this band as one of the many new talents in the neo-prog scene.
