The second album from this band from Great Britain.
Orion is Ben Jones on drums, bass, guitars, keyboard and vocals.
He has so far released two albums through Bandcamp under this name. A review of the debut album was posted earlier this month in this blog.
The music on that album, released in 2023, was pretty muscular hard neo-prog with some art-rock influences.
One year later and the composer Ben Jones has mellowed a lot. This according to the music here.
The hardest edges from last year has been replaced by some more mellow neo-prog. The art-rock influences is still here.
The music is far from being soft. It is still pretty muscular. But without the edges from the debut album.
The vocals is good and there is a lot of interesting details on this fifty-five minutes long album. The quality of the melodies and song writing has also improved a lot.
The result is indeed a very good album and one to check out. This is one of the better albums from 2024 and would have been on somewhere on my top twenty if I had compiled and or published such a list. Something I am not.
Check out this Bandcamp album.
