The debut album from this band from South Korea.
The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, violin, viola, saxophones, flutes, electric piano, piano, Mellotron and synths.
This is a new band to me. And this album is the fourth album from a band who were called Superstring once upon a time. That is the name they are and this album is registered with in the likes of ProgArchives.
The music on this album is a mix of chamber rock and symphonic prog. It is like Aranis going down the symphonic and cinematic prog road while still retaining some chamber rock/RIO music.
RIO meets symphonic prog and teams up with some cinematic music. That is perhaps the best description here.
The mix of tangents, woodwinds and strings is really good on this album. Noone of these three different types of instruments has been pushed in the background.
This three quarters of an hour long album is therefore a good album and a surprise. Progressive rock from South Korea is not something I often encounter. It is my guess this is my first ever review of an album from this country. I will seek out the three other Superstring albums, though.
