FreddeGredde - Brighter Skies (2014)

 

The third album from this band from Sweden.

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

Their second album from this and whose the 2011 debut album Thirteen Eight was a good album.

Fredrik Larsson is still the main man here and is doing most things here. Guitars, bass, keyboards and vocals. Hence, this is a studio project and that may explain why this band/project is so obscure and unknown.

The music is mainly symphonic prog with some neo-prog and folk rock influences. The genre is Scandinavian symphonic prog and this album should be labeled as such.

The music is more symphonic and less folk rock influenced than the likes of The Flower Kings and Kaipa. 

The music is mostly mid-tempo, epic and pretty bold. There is a good blend of keyboards and guitars here. The musicianship is more workman like than great. But it is still good.

The vocals on this one hour long album is very good. The pieces of music here is also good and this is another good album from this band.

This band deserve some more attention and love.
