Accolade biography
ACCOLADE is a Seattle, WA band formed in 2006 featuring singer Stefanie Rene� and musician Aaron Goldstein. They consciously try to play ancient sounding music, which is both haunting and dark, and much of the character comes from Stefanie's voice and the glossy production. Their first full length album festivalia was released in 2012, followed by the vinyl LP Legends, made available for download as well, in 2013, and the EP Catharsis of Rhetoric in 2014. Their emphasis on progressive textures with a folk basis, and their apparent influence from RENAISSANCE and other bands of their era makes them fully qualified for admission to these archives as a prog folk group.

US project ACCOLADE was formed back in 2006, with the creative duo of Stefanie Renee and Aaron Goldstein the backbone of this venture, from what I understand. They released their full-length debut album "Festivalia" in 2012. "Legends" is their second studio production. It was self-released on a limited edition vinyl in December 2013, and was also made available as a digital download.

"Legends" is an album that contains music and lyrics that fit the album title to a T. Ancient myths and legends, and of course the Arthurian side story of Tennyson that is the quite literal inspiration for the B side of this vinyl LP, caters quite nicely for the lyrics part of this, and the blend of medieval-like folk music and progressive rock that has the sound of a classic early '70s production will also evoke associations to legends, albeit of a different sort. Renaissance has been stated as a source of inspiration by this band, and I estimate that fans of that band should find this album to be rather enjoyable as well.

Thanks to kenethlevine for the artist addition.
