Approaching Gold - Gloaming (2023)

The second album from this band from USA.

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

The Bandcamp album debut was released two years ago and this New York based band is now back with the follow up album.

This album is very short, clocking in at twenty-seven minutes. So it has to be good....

The music is a mix of art-rock and neo-prog. There is some moog and melotron sounding keyboards here and some Marillion, Fish era, neo-prog melody lines. 

The music is pretty complex and eclectic at the end of this album too. This is not a run of the mill album.

The band had some great ambitions and ideas on this album. The result is does not live up these ambitions. The first part of this album falls a bit flat on it's face.

The result is a decent enough album. The band has a lot of talent and I hope they will return with a far better, and longer album in the future.
