QUIET EUPHORIA

After a long absence (since 2016 when their second album was released) the long awaited new work of Amoeba Split does not disappoint. Quite the contrary: it fully meets all possible expectations.

Without moving a millimeter from their style (a jazz-rock with classical influences, elegant and vigorous, a 21st century update of the Canterbury scene), the Galician band is able to offer a set of very inspired songs, with a very coherent structure, great timbric richness and, above all, very well performed.

Although the inheritance (or homage) of bands like Soft Machine, Caravan or Hatfield And The North can be perceived, the language and musical lines are so unquestionably of their own that you get that feeling of listening to something you know, but that at the same time is new and refreshing.

In short, this latest album by Amoeba Split is a solid addition to their discography, and I think it confirms them as one of the contemporary references of the Canterbury scene. A personal and original reinvention of progressive jazz-rock, musically creative, emotionally balanced and skillfully and sensitively executed.
