SEA OF THE SINKING SUN

The two first albums from this Australian band has been made available through Bandcamp now. A move I hope will give this band a lot more attention. That and the interview with them I recently published.

Myriad has been compared with Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson. Which is a good comparison. I would also compare the music on this album with the US west coast scene which gave us the likes of Jefferson Airplane. Not to mention the likes of Beach Boys. There is some definate surfing USA and beach life feelings over this album. That and some space rock like yearning for something else too. The music is light and flowery prog with good light vocals, vintage guitars and keyboards + the usual bass and drums. The quality is good throughout. It lacks a couple of killer tunes though. But the music is both clever and intelligently made throughout. This is most definate worthy downloads or even good physical purchases. Fans of Porcupine Tree should most definate check out this album.
