The fourth and so far the latest album from this band from The Netherlands.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, trumpet, flugelhorn, keyboards and vocals.
This band started out as a heavy prog band. Porcupine Tree springs to mind.
And so I thought they would be on their fourth and so far their latest album too. Yes, on Nomad.
I got a surprise. A good one.
The music is still heavy and there is many Porcupine Tree influences here. But add Marillion, a bit Rush and a bit Radiohead too. And then you add some King Crimson and a lot of Gentle Giant too.
And for good measure, add a lot of what Canterbury scene rock bands did. Caravan springs to mind. Ditto for Supersister.
The music on this album is quirky, a bit heavy, playful, eclectic and pretty melodic.
The music is also good. So good that I hope we will hear a lot more from this band next year and in the years to come. This is their best album. But check out their first three albums too. This is a band most people will like and enjoy.
