Unit8 - The Second Arch (2024)

The second album from this band from Great Britain.

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

This is the follow up to their self-titled debut album from 2022. 

Their debut album was a fairly good album and I had hopes for the follow up album.

Their debut album had a mix of art-rock and neo-prog. More art than neo, though. The music was intelligent with influences from both Gentle Giant and The Beatles.

On this, the follow up, the band is far more neo-prog than art-rock. There are also some cleverly crafted music here in the vein of the final Rush albums.

The vocals are a bit limited and fairly good. But they are still acceptable. The music is still intelligent but also a bit naive. 

There are some really good songs here and the band has upped their game from the debut album.

This is indeed a good album and well worth checking out from their Bandcamp site.
