The fourth album from this band from USA.
The band was a seven piece big band with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, programmed woodwinds and vocals.
Tony Banks added keyboards on one of the songs.
This band/project is based on the recording studios of the same name. Owner and friends then record and release the results of these recording sessions. That means four albums so far and I reviewed their third album last week.
This album is an interpretation of Jack Kerouac's novel The Haunted Life. A novel which is popular in the beat culture in USA and world wide. A novel which has inspired numerous artists and bands.
The music on this one hour long album is melodic neo-prog with some americana and psych rock influences.
The music is both elegant and melodic. It has a funky undertone with some good vocals on the top.
The music is mid-tempo and it has some good details. It also has a big US sound.
This is indeed a good album and one to check out if elegant melodic prog is your thing.
3 points
