NO AIR

PERFECT STORM arrives at the beginning of the year from Holland by offering an album far from the beaten track. An album full of vitamins, very catchy rhythms, unstoppable melodies and above all a singular and distinctive voice; one of that which makes you think of TEARS FOR FEARS for the voice and the fruity keyboards, of Joe JACKSON for the remarkable association between the voice and the piano, which must represent a tribute for the voice of Adel Saflou.

The piano, one of the centerpieces of this album which gives rhythm to the titles, either melodic or heavy, yes heavy you heard right; but not heavy prog here, rather heavy PORCUPINE TREE with incisive drawer atmospheres which give more peach; certain moments when the guitar solo with a very fat riff gives the change and embarks us on good metal prog, that is to say. Moments when the jazzy variations are also well marked, starting with crystalline tunes, groovy limit where we can hang on to Pat METHENY. Note Jesse's drums well in place to give a remarkable frame to each of the tracks.

PERFECT STORM gives us crossover rock, some will say neo-prog with the sharp guitar keys, others will notice that the keyboard is often retro flirting with the Mellotrons and other Hammonds. An album where everything is linked, where the voice is immediately associated with the instrumentation, where the contribution of a female voice can also make one think from afar of the magnificent experiments of ANATHEMA; less dark however, more fruity if you follow me a little in my columns! "No Air" to listen to again for the palce given to the piano and the enchanting voice; "Mind's Eye" for this Jacksonian variation which makes this group go in many directions with happiness.

PERFECT STORM sends you to different climates and progressive atmospheres in order to make you have a good time, remember March 19, 2021 as being the release of a fresh, offbeat and crazy musical OMNI but very pleasant to listen to.
