The fifth album from this band from Great Britain.
The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, bassoon, saxophone, keyboards and vocals.
Six guests added percussion, bass, mandolin, violin, piano and vocals.
The band has been around since the 1980s. They have mostly been flying under the radar of the progressive rock fans and have been a pretty local band. I got three of their albums up for review this month.
Their music is a mix of old symphonic prog and folk rock. There are some americana here too as the main song writer Martin Springett is from Canada. Add some baroque music too and you get this.
The music has also an earthly feel. A feel of apple cider from the apple orchards and small breweries in the south-western part of England.
The title track is a good example of good old symphonic prog meets folk rock. A very good song.
Not everything here is working out great. Nevertheless, this is a softly spoken three quarters of an hour long album. A good album it is too and one to check out.
