Folks, I listen to many of your recommendations, and cherish your knowledge of music! I'm searching for new, innovative prog....much of what I hear is derivative ("they sound like Yes" etc.) I've never been able to connect with Magma, who were certainly innovative.... Prog seems to be very formulaic. Drummer, bass player, guitarist, keyboard player, vocalist. This formula only rarely seems to be broken (Fripp's use of three drummers in King Crimson was brilliant!) What else ya got? Who is shattering boundaries? I look forward to a very active thread! Thank you, Charles ------------- I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!! |

The way you ask I'm not sure whether you just want really new stuff, or whether something that isn't so well known but already around for some time fits the bill as well. I was and am very impressed by Sonar's minimalist angular approach, but their first album is already from 2011, so new enough? https://sonar-band.bandcamp.com/album/a-flaw-of-nature Dawn of Midi (not on PA) are related. https://dawnofmidi.bandcamp.com/album/dysnomia Great Wippy Bonstack album by the way. I wouldn't have thought of it in this thread, but certainly under great 2025 albums. I also found this one pretty unique (2020) and strong: https://cisnienie.bandcamp.com/album/brass-album ------------- I make typos so you see I'm not a machine, but I may be a machine pretending to not be a machine. |

In general, I reckon that the most significant new characteristics in modern Prog are much Metal influence, and a good example of that, as well as a fine album, is Taal (F) - Skymind (2003) ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

aaaand it's a "promote your music" thread now  Honestly, as much as I dislike most of their material, I think SLEEP TOKEN is one of the very few guitar bands doing something new. Pretty much like the proggers of the 70s, who were influenced by pop and r&b, Vessel and Co take trap and cloud rap and try to fuse it with djent and alternative metal*. Do I like the result? I absolutely not. Is it original? It absolutely is! Also it's EXTREMELY popular with people who would've never listened to a 8-min song in their life before if not for SLEEP TOKEN, so let's hope the lads' music can serve as a gateway into older prog for many *not like such fusion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksQU1KjTyT8" rel="nofollow - hadn't been done before , but not on such scale and not with such obvious hints at how proggy they are |

I have a confession. I just don't view music like this anymore. I don't care if it's "progressive." I don't care if it's something new, pushing boundaries, or complex. I just like music. It might be completely obscure RPI. It might be the Carpenters. Or AC/DC (Bon era, of course). I listen to tons of late '70s pop songs. Favorite modern rock is The Beths, The Warning, Cherry Glazerr, Starcrawler to name a few. Don't get me wrong. There are a ton of prog bands I love, but I love them because I like their music. Not because they are progressive, complex, or doing anything "new and groundbreaking." Just don't care about those considerations. No offense intended. Not trying to diss the thread topic. Just my two cents.------------- https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sQD8uhpWXCw" rel="nofollow - It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...Road Rage Edition |

I think that the progressive rock genre itself is, by nature, antiquated. Thus, say, if a brand spankin new prog rock project came out: fresh, modern, experimental, groundbreaking, not sounding like Yes, etc, it wouldn't feel like progressive rock. And I bet that if that hypothetical band didn't flat out stick a big glossy prog rock label onto it works, and let the listeners decide instead, nobody would even think that it belongs to this genre. -------------

So many so many. Mine included. It would be unkind of me to mention others by name. When metal hitched its wagon to Prog, I didn’t mind much. Electronica has been riding progs coattails from the beginning… avant garde hangs on by a shoestring… Pop has always found its way onto a Prog album. The WHO aren’t Prog but I’m glad we think they are. ambient, soundscapes, soundtracks, Space rock, English folk, jazz . So many. No matter though… if you like it, it really shouldn’t matter what genre it falls under. I come to PA and AP to hear what’s new, not what’s Prog. One of the proggiest albums released this year So far, I found a bit dull. But The proggiest members here love it, and rightly so. The Best true Prog album I’ve come across this year that I love, is Atomic Times ‘Subsounds’. ------------- https://bakullama1.bandcamp.com/album/maxwells-submarine |

Not really new but Bent Knee comes to mind. I don't really listen much to groundbreaking kind of prog. If I think of more I'll post them here. When they first appeared I would say Echolyn and Porcupine Tree didn't sound like other prog. For current bands I am drawing a blank unfortunately. |

*as say Swans, black midi, Igorrr, Imperial Triumphant, PoiL, Liturgy, John Zorn, Squarepusher, Les Fragments de la Nuit, Rachel's... I suppose stuff like Radiohead, Tori Amos, Björk and Talk Talk would raise a few eyebrows as well. And the reevaluation of Steely Dan, Supertramp etc... I mean once the incusion of Rush was controversial. -so how antiqated can it really be? -As for reccomendations, I don't really have anything I think would please cstack3, as both relevant to his approach - and that feels somewhat new at the same time. Besides I thought adding three drummers were nothing new and kind of gimmicky (like having three mellotrons on stage). All that banging in front of the delicate sounds I wanted to hear - ruined parts of the concert for me. |

Have Squarepusher and Radiohead ever identified as prog bands? From what I've seen they're not universally put into the progressive rock category by their listeners. -------------

Saperlipop's post led me to the conclusion that, well, whether a band is prog rock or isn't, provided they don't self-identify as such, can be quite tricky to determine. And it's often dictated by the listeners' preference. Those who really simp for 70's Yes have their own preconceptions of how to define the prog rock genre, while, I dunno, Tool fans for instance, have one too and it's different. -------------

Thank you! I record music using electronic toys, running them through guitar FX. I use inflated balloons with a single coin inside, and as I get the coin spinning, I mike it to get some rather amazing, pulsating sounds. I play guitar leads over loops generated from recordings of planets from NASA: https://youtu.be/e3fqE01YYWs?si=tL3yK5wT9fVinN8j" rel="nofollow - Jupiter For guitar, I use a Fernandes guitar with sustainer system, same as Fripp and Hackett. Nice. None of this has ever been released, I am too busy with my scientific work (I'm a climate scientist who develops greenhouse gas mitigation technology). I have no intention of selling music, but I hope to release some recordings in 2025 or 2026. What would I like to hear? How about a band using nothing but bass guitars and drums only? Or 20 electric guitars at once? SOMETHING besides the tired, old guitar/bass/keyboard/drum/vocals formula. Ugh. ------------- I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!! |

''New in the world of prog rock'' is an oxymoron to me. ''Prog'' became something when it could be identified as something. Identifiable music stylistcally can never bee innovative. Music doesn't really evolve either because someone decided to make up some random sh*t and a few fans call it 'innovative'. I stopped worrying about innovation when I realised that all progressive music has orgins and is not truly new. The trick is to recognise that fact not try and subvert it. Anyway I think Kyros are quite 'innovative' taking a modern commercial aesthetic and marrying it with classic prog ideas. That seems fine to me. |

Your point is a matter of perspective, and I took the perspecitive of PA's extremely inclusive approach (which I find to be a lot more postive than negative). If we think of Prog as something that was calcified some time in the mid-seventies, Progressive Rock is by nature antiquated, yes. But that doesn't seem to be the leading mindset anywhere. Not on PA, RYM or any of the bigger music communities online that I can think of, really. You'll find it among individuals out there, but they are in a minority. What Progressive Rock is - and can be, changes with the times - and an incusive approach is infact the leading mindset. |

Sure, but if it evolves to something very different from the classics, it's meaningless still to call it "Progressive Rock", as it has become something else. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

| ^ Anything with progressive in it that doesn't progress is meaningless. Anyway have you noticed that Rock and Pop has changed over the decades? Hip-Hop too. It's still Rock, Pop and Hip-Hop. Jazz has chaned - even JazzRock-fusion has changed. Avant-Garde is almost unrecgonizable:). |

^ Different strokes. I'm sure that many prog listeners are content with listening to the same style of music, meaning that they are looking for new music but it needs to fall within a relatively narrow band of styles which they are used to and have come to associate with the label "progressive rock". It excludes some specific styles (e.g. hip-hop, punk, death metal etc.) and of course listeners will reject music that is too familiar with what they already know. To some extent this is true for all of us, only the details vary - e.g. how wide that band of styles is, and how much/little repetition of familiar elements we can tolerate. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

| ^ I was just arguing against that if something evolves into something very differnt, the term becomes meaningless. Sugarhill Gang and... Clippings sound as differnt to me as Yes and black midi, still they are both Hip-Hop. Diffent kinds of Hip-Hop, but Hip-Hop. And Progressive Rock should by defintition be more flexible than any other "genre of Rock". Rockabilly, not so much. Or, at least that's what makes sense to me. |

Whenever I get burned out on Rock , Prog, I go to pop hits of the 60’s and 70’s on Pandora. I have a “we five” channel and a spanky and our gang channel that play pop songs from childhood. The songwriting skills of 60s pop is beautiful & fascinating. Melodies. “you were on my mind”. “Windy” “Lazy Day”. Very uplifting and expertly done. I do it just to break the rock fatigue I get sometimes. ------------- https://bakullama1.bandcamp.com/album/maxwells-submarine |

This website is very strict on which artists get included and which do not. Regardless of whether one thinks of this as a good thing or not, it can result in users thinking too much in terms of inclusion or exclusion. At AP (or RYM, for that matter) anything can be added, and users who prefer those websites might end up being much more relaxed about these things. When I listen to new music, I tag it at AP, which includes (optionally) deciding whether it is non-prog, prog-adjacent or prog. I usually assign this without too much deliberation. If it feels "prog" to me, it gets assigned that way. This decision is also completely decoupled from assigning the rating. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

Yeah if you want to find new music (as it is released ) AP is a wonderful website. Each newly released album has a link attached so you can listen. It’s a great way to hear what’s new.And if you find something new you can add it yourself. It’s easy to see that Mike takes his website very seriously and is always improving.

Let's see ... "shattering boundaries". I'm struggling to come up with recommendations, having listened to a really wide range of releases over the years especially from the RIO/Avant/Experimental corner of prog, there is hardly anything left that hasn't been done. Even when turning to pure noise, there is a wide variety of artists ... It's been a long time since I've heard something truly unique. Last year there was Geordie Greep (black midi) who really managed to surprise me. This year Devin Townsend really wowed me with The Moth, but it's not yet out as a formal release. Today I listened to Atomic Time - Subsounds, really nice Floydian mix of prog rock awesomeness. Other than that, I really enjoyed Brass Camel's latest release, they're having a blast of a time just Art Rocking with tremendous groove. And of course, Igorrr's new release is coming up  ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

Are we derailing this thread, though? The semi-tangential discussions are after all still related to the subject of "what is or isn't new". I'd say it is on-topic. Besides, I personally can't post a lot of examples that fit cstack's criteria, simply because, all the recent rock music I personally listen to with pleasure (yes, modern bands) is either timeless or retro sounding. -------------

Call me Charles, please! I just wanted to stimulate some conversation. PA seems to wallow a lot in the music of the 1970s, and there is nothing wrong with that, but I consider rock music and, particularly "progressive rock," to be a vital and living art-form. My query "What is REALLY new...?" includes instrumentation, techniques, incorporation of different cultural twists etc. The amazing guitarist Fareed Haque of Chicago has explored new ground with his various projects (Fareed Haque Group, Garaj Mahal, Math Games etc. He can blaze like John McLaughlin on lead guitar, it's fun to watch!

This thread has me thinking that maybe we are spoiled. We’ve heard some of the best music ever made from the late 60s to the present, and like addicts we are searching for a better high all the time. Are we jaded? If anything really groundbreaking occurs we will always try to compare it to the best music ever made and find it lacking. Also, if it’s new and groundbreaking it will probably be created by teenagers or very young men and women, as it has historically. And although it may end up the big thing we will still be comparing it to the massive amount of great music we’ve been accustomed to. This is my own opinion I’m 67 yrs old and have heard so much great music in my lifetime… I’ve lived through 5 or 6 groundbreaking eras. 3 of which I connected with. I will continue to listen around but I am definitely spoiled when it comes to music. bands have come and gone so fast, I have a hard time remembering what I liked last week. Listening to music shouldn’t be a chore. I’ll just be happy if I hear something that moves me. Prog or otherwise. I could make a long list of bands and artists so awesome that they have practically ruined my inclination to search and find something new. It will happen by accident one day as it has in the past. The bar has been set pretty high in the prog genre by the big 5 and we are still raving about them after 50 years and there is a good reason for that. Steven Wilson came close, he has been celebrated here at PA for a while now and he has spawned many imitators. ------------- https://bakullama1.bandcamp.com/album/maxwells-submarine |

^ This week I listened to Tarkus again after a long time. I also listened to several other new releases from 2025, and Tarkus did not receive the highest rating. I was born in the 70s and by the time I was in my teens, the 70s were long gone. The big five rank highly in my book, but I do not think they made the "best" music ever. In AP terminology, these iconic releases are surely S-tier, but to me many post 80s releases are even better still. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:
