Pagan Harvest - Earth's Secret Engine (2023)

The third album from this band from Great Britain.

The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, keyboards, guitars and vocals.

The first two albums are untraditional folk rock albums, to say at least. The "folk rock" concept, the genre, was twisted in all directions.

It is pretty obvious that this band has chosen to make their own roads in the music world.

On Earth's Secret Engine, we get folk rock with some classical music and progressive rock influences. 

Acoustic guitars and keyboards are still the basis here. But the light female vocals also drives the music forward. 

The mood is light and positive on this album. This compared to their second album, Sacred River from 2018. Some pretty good Fairport Convention references also sees the light of day here. Pagan Harvest is still very original and difficult to compare to any other bands.

The songs are really good here and Earth's Secret Engine will probably be their breakthrough album. And the band deserve a breakthrough. This is a band well worth keeping an eye on.
