As a devoted fan of 1970s progressive rock, it's exhilarating to hear fresh music that channels the spirit of that golden era while forging its own unique identity. Emerald City Council exemplifies this balance perfectly, carrying the torch of classic prog with artistry and originality.

The journey begins with the stunningly epic opener, "Realize I ? Escape from the Ancient," a track that sets an ambitious tone for the album. Brent Bristow's masterful compositions are the backbone of this record, brought to life by a band of exceptionally skilled musicians. Jake Livgren?nephew of the legendary Kerry Livgren from Kansas?delivers a vocal performance that not only complements the music's melodic grandeur but also brings each song's story vividly to life.

A standout moment is the single "Ice Thinning," a track with a timeless sound that would feel right at home in Kansas's iconic catalog. Its blend of classic prog textures and heartfelt execution showcases the band's ability to bridge the past and present effortlessly.

This is a group worth supporting. Whether it's CDs, vinyl, or merch, investing in Emerald City Council ensures that this kind of inspired music thrives. This album is, without a doubt, one of my favorites of 2024. Don't miss out?join the journey!
