impressivelad And hear I was complaining about a lack of good prog releases in 2021. Sublime and soaring progressive rock, this makes for an excellent and original sounding project with poppish and ambient tendencies. There's some really diverse and dazzlingly jazzy keyboard and synths, played against a very tight rhythm section which ensures that album is simultaneously chill yet energetic and propulsive. Favorite track: Discworld / Projector.

incorpxand96 Richly textured, progressive and digestible, and immaculately arranged. Art rock and progressive rock come together in a package that is accessible while rewarding the devoted relistener.

Deej Jan 1 and this is album of the year material, every song floats around in my head all day long, every single one which makes this very exceptional and I must satisfy it by listening to this multiple times a day, caution: may cause obsession.

Bright, shiny and chill, velvet smooth vocals with occasional haunting melodies. It all ties together through catchy and consistent hooks. This is a masterpiece.

9 years between releases, I guess that’s what it takes to create music like this, I want more.

In The Night 04:21
We’ve come to watch you In the night We thought we’d lost you In the fight We’ve gone uncertain For some time And shake the evidence ‘Til it’s right 
‘Til it’s right ‘Til it’s right ‘Til it’s right We thought we’d lost you In the fight ‘Til it’s right ‘Til it’s right

Leviathan 08:58
You’ve seen a sight Opened your eyes If you don’t lie to us We’ll be alright Ten cents 
That’s all I’m charging for this moment And friends
 Come around From time to time But pay no mind It’s made of stone
 And says what is will be There is no code Etched into this carving Ten cents
 That’s all I’m charging for this moment And friends
 They come around
 From time to time
 But pay no mind 
[I will love you]
 But pay no mind If you could see the marble face
 Time wouldn’t threaten to erase
 And when you live with fire and rain You’re looking for no one else to blame I walk alone
 Down by the river shore Finally letting go See into me 
Wouldn’t you like to be As happy as you can be [Life, inside 
You feel a great divide Run (Sailing) as you hide Your darkness from the light Then (and then) you hide There’ll be no sleep tonight] You’ve seen a sight Opened your eyes If you don’t lie to us We’ll be alright Ten cents 
That’s all I’m charging for this moment And friends
 Come around 
From time to time 
But pay no mind Sailing past the pearly gate tonight Never stopped to reach out for the light ‘Cuz then you can communicate despite When you had paid no mind
 Pay no mind [Paint the sign Pay no mind Pay no mind] Paint the sign Pay no mind Pay no mind Speak until the language is alive Pay no mind 
Pay no mind Replaying the moments in your life When you had
 Paid no mind We are only given so much time Pay no mind
 Pay no mind Sailing And then Pay no mind Pay no mind

Ideologue 02:47
5.
Yes we have come to greet you The weight of the sun moves us all Protect all the sheep who feed you The shepherd will dine alone Yes we have come to greet you The weight of the sun moves us all Protect all the sheep who feed you The shepherd will dine alone - I need someone
 Before you’re called away I need something
 But I don’t have to say A screen protected 
A heart that called your name On a screen projected But it’s so far away I need someone [before you’re called] Before you’re called away And I need something [you’ve heard the call] But I don’t have to say A screen protected
 A heart that called your name On a screen projected But it’s so far away I need someone [before you’re called] Before you’re called away I need something [you’ve heard the call] But I don’t have to say A screen protected
 A heart that called your name On a screen projected [into a tired and lonely man] But it’s so far away
