The tenth or so album from this band from USA.
This is a one-man-band and the man behind it, who has not given us his name, does the computers, programming and vocals here.
Samtar is from Wisconsin, one of the least populated states in USA. It is also a state with some great open landscapes and nature.
The music on this fifty minutes long album is a lot more lush than the state it comes from. Take some Radiohead and Porcupine Tree, add in some psych rock, post rock and a small whiff of americana too. That is pretty much what we get here.
There is a lot of vocals here and they are good. Ditto for the vocal harmonies. The music is songs based and not so freeform as most progressive rock albums.
There is also a lot of heavy guitars here. Heavy but not particular heavy metal dominated. The guitars are more leaning towards psych rock.
The music is pretty good throughout with only a few substandard songs. This is a pretty enjoyable album and I am pretty sure Samtar's discography is worth a further exploration. Check these albums out on Bandcamp.
