LET SEE THIN

Let See Thin, a band that makes frontier rock with the sounds of 80's new wave. 8 tracks of almost 5 minutes each for an escape of melodic freshness.

"Herald" for a spacey, soaring intro, reminding me of that of Coma Rossi, quite conventional prog rock, forward vocals reminiscent of Damien Wilson, the rhythm rises suddenly intense and serious, the solo very technical, airy and with a dose of romantic spleen making the strings cry, very beautiful title finalized by a minimalist decrescendo. "For The Future" on a melodic prog rock track, focused on an omnipresent bass, you have to wait until the usual halfway point to get the prog variation that goes with it, the melody stretches out with some devastating solos on the guitar. "Time" on a synthetic basis (come on! Phil Collins must have been listened to there), a title which lacks depth but perhaps that is the aim, the final solo with very present drums sets the tone. "Change" continues on synth prog which reminds me of the creative side of The Cars; the voice is the main musical instrument and gives a pompous, grandiloquent air, the title then passes to a NASA phrasing leading to the eternal solo which each time saves the title a little by giving a lot of creative expressions. The clip could not be more expressive about the way we treat our planet. "Leave" extends and insists on the sound, the very obvious voice accompanied by the instruments placed overlooking the illuminated music. "To The Stars" still with this synthetic rhythm merging in fact prog rock and new wave, the voice here seems feminine, confusing a little, it changes, it looks like a condensed symphony, the sounds starting from the start but it is necessary open up to this fusion of genres. "Keep Calm" let's stay calm here, percussions still in the Collins style, the voice stands out, it's her who holds the album, expressive, airy, crystal clear, always Damien a little Jon Anderson when he raised his voice high; monolithic keyboard solo creating a latent sound. "Mist" and the last variation of the album on the most ambient track, melancholic and full of fervor; monolithic percussion, voice placed on top always in jerks, the keyboard with piano to make the air played even more expressive.

A Polish act LET SEE THIN are a promising Neo-symphonic project founded in 2018. "2Years 2Late" was released as their debut full-length creation at the yearend of 2020, that is stuffed with their powerful instrumental technique and strong intention to launch energetic progressive essence. This album features crossover-prog-ish catchy melodic streams seasoned with deep heavy rhythmic basis solidified by fundamental rock instruments - guitars, bass, and drums.

Every single track has well-favourable melody lines leaning towards 70s or 80s authentic rock scene. Some of their interludes are not so complicated as other units' stuffs but claim that they toss strictness and skillfulness via them. Sounds like they say their composition is not so difficult to digest but digestive for the audience, especially Crossover Progressive Rock fans. On the other hand, there is no eccentric texture nor obvious creativity in their overall creation. Guess their intensive purpose to grab wider generations' or audience's support could not let themselves create such an innovative soundscape nor diverse productivity.

Aside from progressiveness or sound innovation, their opus is quite vivacious and fascinating for the debut creation without suspicion. No idea where they will go from now on, but it's positive and pleasant we expect their future because of youthfulness. A good album indeed.
