The third album from this band from USA.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, flutes, computers and vocals.
The band returns nine years after their last album Years In The Garden Of Years. A pretty good album according to my review in # 2 of this blog. I have yet to review their 2008 debut album The Fruit Fallen. A review of that album will follow before the end of the year.
The music on the forty minutes long Our Road To Dust is eclectic to put it nicely...
Take some 'Tull like folk psych rock, add in a lot of vaudeville pop/rock, add in some progressive metal and americana too and you get this album.
There is a lot of pretty wild vocals here on an album where the music is kicking in all different directions.
The music is not particular logical or linear, let me put it like that. Neither is it melodic as the chaos prevents it from being melodic.
There is some pieces of music which is working here. And some pieces falls a bit short. I am not entirely won over by this album. Check it out if eclectic music is your thing.
