Ikan Method. The - Blue Sun (2020)

The debut album from this band from Italy.

The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, flute and vocals.

This band released their second album earlier this year. As this band is new to me, I got hold of their debut album first and decided to review that album before I review their new album next week. Hence this review.

Their music is a pretty muscular blend of art-rock and neo-prog. Their music is not far from this day and age Marillion. 

The sound is good and ditto for the vocals. The rest of the band does a good job too on this one hour long album. The guitarists does a very good job at times with some tasty guitar solos.

Most of the music is pretty good. There are some pieces here which is too pedestrian and too bland. Other parts are good and heralds a band with some good talents. A band who can do better. 

Hopefully, that "better" is their new album. Blue Sun is an acceptable debut album and one to check out.
