Polyphony

*2023 stock* "Halfway between Tarkus and the much darker, weirder, and more complex longform prog bands of the 70s like Gnidrolog, Il Balletto di Bronzo, or Island. There are also mild psych vibes throughout, most prominently from the vocalist who's singing through some seriously tasty echo and reverb most of the time... and yet one of the album's more unusual qualities is that the lead singer doesn't do a ton of singing. I'd be willing to bet that if you took all the parts on the album with vocals and added them all up, it would come to about ten minutes. The rest weaves in and out of the complex-but-comparatively-normal ELP-esque bits and considerably gnarlier territory. Regardless, well worth hearing." - RYM
