SILHOUETTE MOON

Imagine playful neo-prog crossed with the trippy, serene neo-psychedelia of acts like Mercury Rev and you've got something close to Vienna Circle's sound on Silhouette Moon - a deft updating of the classic neo-prog sound with enough modern influences to save Vienna Circle from being a clone of any particular previous neo outfit. With soaring compositions which explore a range of moods, Vienna Circle explore each and every phase of their Silhouette Moon over the album's running time, but equally show enough restraint to restrict the album to 50 minutes of strong material and resist the temptation to pad the proceedings out with filler. The Davis brothers and their guests have established themselves as a neo-prog force to be reckoned with here.
