Drifting Sun - Veil (2024)

The eight album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, guitars, mandolin, keyboards and vocals.

A dozen of guests were adding violin and vocals.

The band continued on with their mix of neo-prog, art-rock and symphonic prog.

Eight songs... the longest one is clocking in at twelve minutes. Then we get some shorter ones too. We get altogether almost fifthy minutes of music here.

The music is both melodic and epic. The opening track has a nice nod towards Yes. It is indeed a lot of nods towards Yes, the Drama era, on this album. The usual Genesis and Marillion influences are still retained on this album.

The music is also very elegant. The songs are short but this album should still be regarded as one fifty minutes long piece of music. It is that symphonic and complex. 

The vocals is good and the band does a really good job.

This is another good album from this band. A bit underrated band who deserve a lot more praise and attention.
