http://www.myspace.com/naoband "North Atlantic Oscillation have been described as prog-pop and electro-rock, but really they just make music. Welcome to a sonic world of soaring harmonies, loud guitars, dreamy synths, heavy drums, effects aplenty and unexpected changes-of-mind. NAO are the Scottish based trio of Sam Healy (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, synths, sax, percussion), Ben Martin (drums, percussion, programming) and Bill Walsh (bass, synth bass, vocals). They describe themselves as playing their instruments within a computerised wall of sound. " |

Quick listening to their samples in MySpace ... interesting stuffs.
Not enough progressive jabs I've gained there but necessary for us to research more I feel. Anyway, which subgenre do you consider they be fit for? Sorry I cannot know ... |

I was thinking about crossover prog since they're not 100 % basic prog, other than that perhaps eclectric prog or psych/space rock

I'll alert the Crossover team. Do they have an album that could be considered their "progressive" album? The MySpace samples aren't very revealing.

I've got their only full-length, Grappling Hooks, a really great album. I think it could be a bit too straight rock sounding for Xover, but still worth a look for xover.
I'm happy to do a bio and/or album additions if/when the time comes. |

They have released a full lenght album, and a ep with edits and remixes and stuff. They're not very progresssive in the traditional way, more in kinda building textures and sounds etc
