Troposphere - Troposphere (2017)

The one and only album from this band/project from USA.

The band was a duo with a lineup of drums and keyboards.

Various guests added bass, guitars, woodwinds and vocals to this album.

This is a sideproject from the very good US band Canvas. The album has been released through Canvas own record label as a CD and through their own Bandcamp page. 

The album has been in my collection for years, for the last six years to be more precise.

The music is indeed pretty lively US art-rock and neo-prog. A fine mix of those two genres plus some mainstream pop/rock too is what we get on this fifty minutes long album.

The music is indeed playful, very playful with some good vocals. 

The music is a mix of fast, mid-tempo and slower ballads like songs. The mood is very light and sunny. Optimism about life and music is what I get here and that is probably what the band want to communicate here.

The music is too much standard pop/rock for my liking. It is a bit of a Canvas-light in this respect. That said, this is an album all fans of Canvas should get. 

Check it out if this floats your boat.
