Fish On Friday - 8mm (2023)

The sixth album from this band from Belgium.

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

Three guest added flute and female vocals.

I was not too impressed by their 2020 album Black Rain, reviewed some days ago. The band had lost their focus and the songs were not good enough. Hence my disappointment.

Three years later and Belgium's finest are back again.

The band has developed from a pure neo-prog band to a much more art-rock band. The band now sounds like crossbreed between Pink Floyd and Marillion.

The music is also melancholic. The flute, provided by the guest Theo Travis, and the female and male vocal duets and vocal harmonies adds a lot of melancholy. 

It also add some quality to the songs who are mostly much better than the ones on Black Rain. 

The result is a good album, indeed. Check it out.
