The debut album from this band from Sweden/Canada/USA
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, mandolin, piano, keyboards, synths, loops and flute.
A trio of guests added bass, guitars and cello.
This band, which I guess is internet based, is a true international band which has so far released six albums. All of them has got coverful album art-work and I suspect that they first attracted me to the band. I will review their six albums this summer and I am off course starting with this, their debut album.
The music on this almost one-hour-long album is also pretty colourful.
The music is an instrumental blend of cinematic rock, eclectic prog and jazz.
There is a lot of synths and electric guitars here. The sound is good too.
What this album is missing is good music. There is some good ideas here.... but that is what this album is. Ideas and they are a bit disconnected.
There is a lot of potential here but it has not been unleashed on this album.
2.5 points
