harmonic landscapes, shifting meters, inventive arrangements, and intricate musical interplay. It’s an album
that continually challenges, surprises, and rewards attentive listeners.
Here are excerpts from the critical acclaim received for the band's previous albums:
“They sound like nobody else. Really! Elements of rock, classical, jazz, and more all twisting together in a
colorful embrace with power, menace, melody, and beauty.” – Expose Online

coating, and the overall effect is very entertaining.” – The Progressive Aspect
“Quirky, counterpoint arrangements…reminds me of an instrumental Gentle Giant. Really, really exciting
stuff!” – Sea of Tranquility
