Lesoir - Luctor et Emergo (2014)

 

The third album from this band from the Netherlands.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, piano, synths, programming, flute and vocals.

The band returned again the year after their second album Transcience. That was a pretty good album from then was a duo.

The band has now become a quartet, a proper band. That with the same vocalist and I presume the engine-room in this band.

The music on this fifty-five minutes long album is not as hard this time as on the first two albums. There are still some Porcupine Tree influences here but the band has also incorporated some art-rock and neo-prog into their brand of progressive rock.

The vocals from Ms. Maartje Meessen is as per usual very good. By slowing down the tempo, the band has also given her more space to showcase her vocals and the result is her vocals so far. 

The songs are both quirky and catchy. There is a lot of good stuff here and the result is therefore their best album and a good album in it's own right. Check out this album.
