The second album from this band from The Netherlands.
The band was a duo with a lineup of guitars, piano, synths, drum programming, flute and vocals.
The band's 2011 self-titled debut album was reviewed in this blog earlier this month and it was a pretty good album. A very promising debut album from this duo.
Transcience is a three quarters of an hour long album and a logical follow up to the music on their debut album.
The music is still modern heavy prog in the Steven Wilson mould. The vocals of Maartja Meessen is still in the front of the mix and very much dominating this album. They are very good vocals.
The music is a bit more balanced and melancholic this time around. There is some art-rock in their brand of heavy prog.
There is no real bass in their sound and that gives this album a bit of a synthetic sound and ambience.
The songs are a mix of good and decent songs. The vocals is too dominating too. Nevertheless, this is another pretty good album from this band.
2.5 points
