SILENCE OF ANOTHER KIND

28th March, 2021: Paatos - Silence of Another Kind (art rock, 2006)

Paatos really head down the dream pop route here, with some of these songs sounding far more Twin Peaks than Genesis. It's a welcome move too, as it does reinforce them as something relatively unique within 2000s prog, and in my opinion quite underrated. The use of violin and saxophone here is also nice, and gives the songs a bit of a chamber pop edge. Any genuine prog here is relatively minimal, but the prog mindset helps the songs from getting too samey in their tone.
