The band is a trio with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, guitars, mikrokorg, samples and vocals.
Two guests added synths, lap steel guitar and cello.
The music on this album and the scene this band comes from is a bit outside the scope of this blog. I got offered this album for review and I said yes before I really got the chance to think about it.
Read on and I will explain...
Some of what we label progressive rock these days are in fact retro rock, mired in the Genesis and Dream Theater landscape. This is a landscape the likes of Enmesher finds to retro and has broken free from.
So where is this band in the landscape ?
Let us start with King Crimson and then add some half-acoustic jazzy guitars and female vocals. Yes, that is a mix of art-rock and eclectic prog with a lot of jazz and indie rock influences.
The music on this forty minutes long album is still songs. The songs are still so quirky that the songs format goes out the window on some of the songs.
The vocals and the half-acoustic guitars are really good here. The music... This is not the type of music I am that familiar with... but the quality is still there.
This is indeed a good album which will appeal to everyone into eclectic progressive rock. Check it out on Soundcloud, Spotify and Amazon.
