Ten Jinn - Sisyphus (2017)

The fourth album from this band from USA.

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

Three guests added keyboards and vocals.

Trying to label this band is like chasing shadows. Just when you think you got a good label on them, the band jumps over to a new genre. Or back to an old genre. Which is partly the case here.

The band has been listening intently to the likes of Enid. 

The result is this two pieces album which clocks in at just over fifty minutes. The first part has a lot of vocals. The final part is only instrumental with a lot of symphony orchestra instruments. I gather those are sampled on this album. And yes, the name of these two pieces is Sisyphus I and Sisyphus II. Both of them are twenty-six minutes long.

Part I is a mix of neo-classical music, some musicals and symphonic prog. Part II is entirely neo-classical music.

The result is an album somewhere between decent and a good album. There is a lot to be enjoyed here and fans of neo-classical music must check out this album.
