3 stars Love such a mixture of power pop and progressive rock that gives us a huge encouragement. An Ontario-oriented duo SPACE KITCHEN have released the self-titled debut EP finally in April 2023 for launching their intensive spacey expedition. Catchy music communication would be approved not only by progressive rock fans but also by pop / authentic rock lovers ... we can have such an impression via the departure "The Arrival", one of the most enjoyable gifts by them. The combination of simple but energetic melody lines and not-so-good but lively voices is quite cheerful for us.

In "Zoo Keeper" we are immersed in dreamy keyboard streams in a short pop track. Interesting to hear their diligent singing (good good). The longest stuff "Moving Picture" is produced with a mysterious atmosphere, awkward polyrhythms, sticky melodic repetitions, and acceptable keyboard-based spacey basements. Guess they would have been aware of kinda merger of space rock and heavy progressive. The shortest one but pretty attractive is "The Squig" filled with technical rhythmic bases and complex sound texture. How amazing. "The following "Sun Tower" reminds us of the similarity to new-era Genesis or Neo-Prog sensation but they do not forget pop essence in it.

Totally their debut ep does not have such an innovative element nor strict originality but gives us amusement and gentleness and nostalgia for rock. We should keep an eye on their activity from now on, yes!
