Kiama - The Sign of IV. Available Now

Tigermoth Records proudly presents the release of Sign of IV, the debut album from Kiama which features Rob Reed (Magenta / Kompendium), Andy Edwards (IQ, Robert Plant, Frost), Luke Machin (Maschine, the Tangent) and Dylan Thompson (The Reasoning, Shadow of the Sun)

We have drawn from a pool of music and references that came from the early 70s and from bands that were largely considered to be "rock" but to us made some of the great "Prog epics" of the era: Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" and "Kashmir", Rainbow's "Stargazer" and  Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". These became our template.

We felt that there was no point in making music that sounded like our previous bands.  We wanted to do something different. One factor that we loved from these great 1970s albums was that the bands were not afraid to mix styles.  A Queen or a Led Zeppelin album might follow rock with jazz, folk with blues.  We were not afraid to do the same thing, so each track has a very different feel.

Sign of IV - recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios -  presents the very best in Progressive music.  Each track is a mini-masterpiece, with organic and spacious arrangements.  Full of melody, intricate nuance and delightful mood changes, it really is an album worth remembering.
