Viaggi di Madeleine. I - Tra Luce e Ombra (2023)

The second album from this band from Italy.

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

The band had help from some guests who added strings, bass, synths, saxophones, narrations and vocals.

I really liked their 2019 self-titled debut album. That album was full of heavy, doomy rock with a lot of RPI influences. 

Indeed, their new album Tra Luce E Ombre starts out as a hard rock album before it proceeds in a more slower, gentle tempo. 

The music proceeds into a more modern RPI landscape. PFM is again a good reference throughout this fourty minutes long album.

The music is very jazzy at times and the band is flirting with the Canterbury prog genre during the final half of the album.

The vocals are very good and this album should be an obligatory purchase for anyone into RPI. It is indeed a very good album.

3.5 points
