The Merlin Bird- Chapter and Verse (Self-Released)
The Merlin Bird are a prog rock band from Australia. They were founded circa 2000 and since then they had just two releases: an EP ("Reason and Rhyme") released in 2003 and this full-length release in 2014. The band seemed to be bigger in the beginning but by this album had been reduced to just two members with a number of external collaborators brought in to contribute. This record is, as rightly described by the band itself "...Jethro Tull meets Enya in a bar that's owned by Genesis, but full of people arguing about Pink Floyd". Overall the record has a variety of songs that are cohesive between them, but at the same time have an individual identity and are influenced by classic Prog rock, folk music and acoustic elements. Highly recommended!
