SPOKE OF SHADOWS

US duo SPOKE OF SHADOWS was formed in 2013, consisting of world renowned drummer Bill Bachman and instrumentalist Mark Cook, the latter arguably best known for being a member of progressive rock band Herd Of Instinct. Spoke Of Shadow's self-titled debut album was released in 2014 through Djam Karet's label Firepool Records.

Complex, sophisticated progressive rock is the name of the game here, and as always from a product issued by Firepool Records, the mix and production are impeccable. Audiophiles can take note of this one straight away, those who prefer to buy high-quality items in terms of sound, mix and production should get this one playing on their high-end audio systems. Otherwise I'd suggest that fans of '80s King Crimson, Trey Gunn's various side projects and Djam Karet should take note of this album, as I'd hazard a guess that the greater majority of them will find this disc to be a rewarding and interesting experience.
