#11 - Top of 2015

The bright light social hour - Space is Still the Place (Frenchkiss Records)

Moving closer to the top 10 we encounter a very interesting case of a band. These guys are a psychedelic rock band that was born out of a university art rock collective. Now, this sounds a bit pretentious, and probably was, but these guys came together to create a wonderful psychedelic progressive rock band with a distinct identity and a retro-oriented sound. Progressive here, comes in terms of how this sound would be defined back in the 70s and not by today's progressive rock records criteria. Nine out of the ten tracks are less than six minutes each and the whole record has a total length of only 45 minutes!Nevertheless this could not be more of a prog record if it tried. Take a seat, relax and let this take your mind off your worries and into a wonderful weird world. You can hear it for yourselves as these guys have streamed the whole album in Youtube.

94/100


Below is the music video for the track Infinite Cities.
