THE MAN BEHIND THE LOCK

What they surve a more or less unsuspecting world is music residing somewhere in between Marillion, Rush and U2 in general style; where the guitar expressions are the pointers to the aforementioned acts. Ranging from carefully wandering plucked themes to more atmospheric echoing guitar licks with some staccato energetic excursions thrown in for good measure, there's a variety in expressions here. And the odd passages with heavy guitar riffs, albeit toned down a bit, adds even more of that.

The general tone and scope of these tunes are on the lighter side though, at least musically. Subtle dissonances and disharmonies does form a part of the picture, but the major chaotic part of the soundscapes are the drums - more often than not coming across as generally loud, and with strong jazz-tendencies. The latter also strengthened by the bass on occasion.

It's a challenging excercise this one, hidden in a stylistic expression belonging to the lighter side of the art rock family. If a jazz-tinged blend of U2, Rush and Marillion sounds intriguing this act should be on your list of artists to check out.
