SECRETS OF A RED PLANET

US band SKY CRIES MARY has a career that stretches back to the tail end of the 1980's, and were active in their first phase of existence until sometime around 2010. A few years back a new version of the band was formed, and earlier this year they released their first album of new material since 2007. The album is called "Secrets of a Red Planet", and was issued through US label Trail Records in the spring of 2020.

"Secrets of a Red Planet" strikes me as a fine comeback album and a good way for the band to kick off the next phase of their existence. A bit rough around the edges, maintaining some of their core traits while also arguably moving closer to what relatively traditional improvisation based space rock bands are doing. Hence fans of space rock bands as outlined as well as existing Sky Cries Mary fans strikes me as a likely key audience for this band as of 2020.
