The second album from this band from Sweden.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Hallas has become a much talked about band during their three albums and I wanted to find out what all this hype was about. Hence, I got these three albums for review.
Their 2017 debut album Excerpts From A Future Past lived up to the hype and that made me eager to explore the band even more. Hence this review and the review of this year's album which will follow later this week.
The music is again art-rock with a lot of Swedish folk rock and symphonic prog influences.
The music is a bit prog-lite as it is more based on the art of writing and composing good, dynamic songs than putting in as many time-shifts as you can. That is by no means meant as criticism of the band and their music. The band just approach complex music from another angle than most progressive rock bands.
The vocals, guitars and keyboards are good. Ditto for the music.
Hallas is a good art-rock band and they live up to the hype. They do not really makes my progressive rock brain cells approve of them.
