MUSIC FOR EMPTY PLACES

Italian band GIANT THE VINE has a history that goes back to 2014, although it would take the band a few years to stabilize and establish a firm line-up. In 2019 they signed to Italian label Lizard Records, who released their debut album "Music for Empty Places".

"Music for Empty Places" is a well made album of it's kind, but to my ears a few of the songs lacks that little extra to manage to become more than just ear candy: Pleasant and pleasing in an almost unobtrusive manner. Other creations makes a stronger impression however. An album for fans of instrumental progressive rock of the kind that is fairly easy to listen to, and that may have a fairly broad potential audience also outside of the boundaries of the progressive rock universe.
